This is the time Now gimme that beat Feel how the rhythm grips your feet. Kitty-Baby Take my hand She's like a devil heaven sent. I'm in her arms and she's in mine Maybe we'll make the film on time. Sitting in the 15th row Oh baby I love you so. We are the jet set society We are the jet set And the means liberty Liberty. We are the jet set society We are the jet set We are the jet set-set society. We're on the run We know where to go We've got the tickets for the midnight show. Nights are buniing out so fast Hop on the beam You won't be last. The Russians seem to be that way We love 'em like we love D. Kaye. We need no money We got it free We are the high-high-high-high-high-society. We are the jet set society We are the jet set . . . We are the jet set Hop on the beam We are the jet set Hop on the beam. We are the jet set Hop on the beam We are the jet set Hop on the beam. Shine on society Shine on liberty Shine on luxury Shine on society. Streets are full of love and fear This could be the final year. Enrico's dead but still o. k We dance the streets Feeling well. If she's a lady I'm her man If she's a man I'll do what I can. Let's go to the moon Let's go to the moon Come and join the institution Let's go to the moon. Let's go to the moon Let's go to the moon Set that taste of liberty and let's go to the moon. Let's go to the jet set - let's go to the moon = society. We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - liberty. We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - society. We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - liberty. Jet set - let's go to the moon - society. We are the jet set - let's go to the moon - liberty. . . .
