Jersey Girl - Live at Giants Stadium, E. Rutherford, NJ - 8/22/1985

Alright!
We gonna do this one for my mother and all the other Jersey girls out there

Got no time for the corner boys
Down in the street makin' all that noise
Or the girls out on the avenue
'Cause tonight I wanna be with you

Hey, tonight I'm gonna take that ride
Cross the river to the Jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
And take her on all the rides

'Cause down the shore everything's alright
You and your baby on a Saturday night
Nothing matters in this whole wide world, no
When you're in love with a Jersey girl

Sing shala-la-la-la-la
Shala-la-la-la-la-la
Shala-la-la-la-la-lala
Shala-la, well, I'm in love with a Jersey girl
Shala-la-la-la-la-la
Shala-la-la-la-la-la-la
Shala-la-la-la-la-la-la
Shala-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 girl gives me everything
I know some day she's gonna wear my ring

But don't bother me, man, I ain't got no time
I'm on my way to see that girl of mine
'Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world, no
When you're in love with a Jersey girl

Sing shala-la-la-la-la-la
Shala-la-la-la-la-lala
Shala-la-la-la-la-la
Shala-la-la, well, I'm in love with a Jersey girl
Shala-la-la-la-la-la
Shala-la-la-la-la-lala
Shala-la-la-la-la-lala
Shala-la-la-la-la

When 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 all dressed up on the bed, baby, fast asleep

Go in the bathroom and put your makeup on
We're gonna take that little brat of yours and drop her off at your mom's
I know a place where the dancing's free
See baby, won't you come with me?

'Cause down the shore everything's all right
You and your baby on a Saturday night
Oh! Nothing matters in this whole wide world, no, no
When you're in love with a Jersey girl

Sing shala-la-la-la-la-la
Shala-la, shala-la-la-la
Shala-la-la-la-la-la-la-
Shala-la-la, well, I'm in love with a Jersey girl
Shala-la-la-la-la-la
Shala-la-la, shala-la-la-la
Shala-la-la-la-la-lala
Shala-la-la-la-la
