Jersey Girl lyrics

Song information

Artist: Tom Waits
Album: Heartattack And Vine

Lyrics

Got no time for the corner boys
Down in the street makin' all that noise
Don't want no whores on eighth avenue
Cause tonight I'm gonna be with you

'Cause tonight I'm gonna take that ride
Across the river to the jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
And I'll take you all on the rides

Down the shore everything's alright
You're with your baby on a saturday night
Don't you know that all my dreams come true
When I'm walkin' down the street with you
Sing sha la la la la la sha la la la

You know she thrills me with all her charms
When I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms
My little angel gives me everything
I know someday that she'll wear my ring

So don't bother me cause I got no time
I'm on my way to see that girl of mine
Nothin' else matters in this whole wide world
When you're in love with a jersey girl
Sing sha la la la la la la

And I call your name, I can't sleep at night
Sha la la la la la la
