There are two gangs fighting each other, each with their own musical theme.
The first gang, the Gutter Cats, are made up by Alice Cooper, as far as I can tell. The second gang, the Jets, are from the West Side Story. Both the melody and the lyrics from that part are straight out of the movie.
It's not like Alice Cooper stole the song, he just took a song that, at that time, everybody knew, and combined it with a song of his own.
The next song on the album is "Street Fight", in which you can hear the two gangs fighting each other.
