Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got no time for the corner boys
Down in the street, making all that noise
Don't want no whores on Eighth Avenue
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be with you
[Verse 2]
'Cause tonight I'm gonna take that ride
Cross the river to the Jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
And I'll take you on all the rides
[Verse 3]
Down the shore everything's alright
You with your baby on a Saturday night, yeah
Don't you know all my dreams come true
When I'm walking down the street with you?
[Chorus]
Sing, sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, I'm in love with a Jersey girl
[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
So don't bother me 'cause I got no time
I'm on my way to see that girl of mine, yeah
Nothing else matters in this whole wide world
When you're in love with a Jersey girl
[Chorus]
Sing, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, I'm in love with a Jersey girl
[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la, la-la-la
[Bridge]
And I call your name
I can't sleep at night
[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, I'm in love with a Jersey girl
[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la, yeah
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Oh, I'm in love, I'm in love with a Jersey girl
[Outro]
Sha-la-la-la-la, yeah
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
