TIGER, IMITATING KRUPKE Hey you! RIFF Who me,
Officer Krupke? TIGER, IMITATING KRUPKE Yeah you,
gimme one good reason for not draggin' ya down the
station house, ya punk! RIFF Dear kindly Sergeant
Krupke You gotta understand It's just our
bringin' upke That gets us out of hand Our
mothers all are junkies Our fathers all are
drunks Golly Moses, natcherly we're punks JETS
Gee, Officer Krupke We're very upset We never had
the love That every child oughta get We ain't no
deliquents We're misunderstood Deep down inside
us there is good RIFF There is good! JETS There
is good, there is good There is untapped good
Like inside, the worst of us is good TIGER,
IMITATING KRUPKE That's a touching good story
RIFF Lemme tell it to the world! TIGER, IMITATING
KRUPKE Just tell it to the judge RIFF Dear kindly
Judge, your Honour My parents treat me rough With
all their marijuana They won't give me a puff They
didn't wanna have me But somehow I was had Leapin'
lizards, that's why I'm so bad SNOWBOY IMITATING
JUDGE Right! Officer Krupke You're really a
square This boy don't need a judge He needs an
analyst's care It's just his neurosis That oughta
be curbed He's psychologically disturbed RIFF I'm
disturbed JETS We're disturbed, we're disturbed
We're the most disturbed Like we're
psychologically disturbed SNOWBOY IMITATING JUDGE
Hear ye, hear ye. In the opinion of this court,
this child is depraved on account he ain't had a
normal home. RIFF Hey, I'm depraved on account
I'm deprived! SNOWBOY IMITATING JUDGE So take him
to a headshrinker. You! ACTION Who me? RIFF My
daddy beats my mommy My mommy clubbers me My
grand'pa is a commie My grand'ma pushes tea My
sisters wears a moustache My brother wears a
dress Goodness gracious, that's why I'm a mess
ACTION IMITATING HEADSHRINKER Yes, Officer Krupke
He shouldn't be here This boy don't need a couch
He needs a usefully career Society's played him a
terrible trick And sociologically he's sick RIFF I
am sick! JETS We are sick, we are sick We are sick
sick sick Like we're sociologically sick ACTION
IMITATING HEADSHRINKER In my opinion, this child
does not need to have his head shrunk at all.
Juvenile delinquency is purely a social disease.
RIFF Hey, I got a social disease! ACTION
IMITATING HEADSHRINKER So take him to a social
worker RIFF Dear kindly social worker They tell
me get a job Like be a soda jerker Which means
I'd be a slob It's not I'm antisocial I'm only
anti-work Glory Osky, that's why I'm a jerk A-RAB
Eek, Officer Krupke You've done it again This boy
don't need a job He needs a year in the pen It
ain't just a question of misunderstood Deep down
inside he's no good RIFF I'm no good JETS We're
no good, we're no good We're no earthly good Like
the best of us is no damn good The trouble is he's
lazy The trouble is he drinks The trouble is he's
crazy The trouble is he stinks The trouble is
he's growing The trouble is he's grown Krupke,
we've got troubles of our own Officer Krupke
We're down on our knees RIFF 'Cause no one wants
a fella With a social disease JETS Dear Officer
Krupke What are we to do? Gee, Officer Krupke
Krup you!
