Got no time for the cornerboys, down in the street makin' all that noise
The girls out on the avenue 'cause tonight I wanna be...with you
Cause tonight I'm gonna take that ride, across the river to the Jersey side
Takin' my baby to the carnival and take her on all the rides
Cause down the shore everythings alright, you and your baby on a Saturday night
You know all my dreams come true, when I'm walkin' down the street with you
Sing sha la lala la sha lala la la la, sha la la, la la la I'm in love with a Jersey Girl
Sha la lala la sha lala la la la, sha la la, la la la, sha la la 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, someday she's gonna wear my ring
So don't bother me man I've got no time, I'm on my way to see that girl of mine
Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world, when you're in love with a jersey girl
Sha la lala la sha lala la la la, sha la la, la la la I'm in love with a Jersey Girl
Sha la lala la sha lala la la la, sha la la, la la la, sha la la la la la

I see you on the street and you look so tired, I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired
When I come by to take you out to eat, you're lyin' all dressed up on the bed baby fast asleep
Go in the bathroom put that makeup on,were gonna take that lil brat of yers n drop her off at yer mom
I know a place where the dancing's free, hey baby won't you come with me
'Cause down the shore everything's all right, you and your baby on a Saturday night
Nothing matters in this whole wide world, when you're in love with a Jersey girl
Sing sha la lala la sha lala la la la, sha la la, la la la I'm in love with a Jersey Girl
Sha la lala la sha lala la la la, sha la la, la la la, sha la la la la la
Sing sha la lala la sha lala la la la, sha la la, la la la I'm in love with a Jersey Girl
Sha la lala la sha lala la la la, sha la la, la la la, sha la la la la la
