Lyrics

[00:51.95] Got no time for the corner boys,
[00:57.37] down in the street makin' all that noise,
[01:02.86] don't want no whores on eighth avenue,
[01:08.52] cause tonight i'm gonna be with you.
[01:14.02] 'cause tonight i'm gonna take that ride
[01:19.43] across the river to the jersey side,
[01:25.14] take my baby to the carnival,
[01:30.49] and i'll take you on all the rides,
[01:36.47] Down the shore everything's alright,
[01:41.62] you're with your baby on a saturday night,
[01:47.13] don't you know that all my dreams come true,
[01:52.73] when i'm walkin' down the street with you,
[01:58.19] sing sha la la la la la sha la la la.
[02:41.49] You know she thrills me with all her charms,
[02:47.34] when i'm wrapped up in my baby's arms,
[02:52.88] my little angel gives me everything,
[02:57.64] I know someday that she'll wear my ring.
[03:03.10] So don't bother me cause i got no time,
[03:08.80] I'm on my way to see that girl of mine,
[03:14.52] nothin' else matters in this whole wide world,
[03:19.77] when you're in love with a jersey girl,
[03:52.68][03:25.12] sing sha la la la la la la.
[03:43.61] when you're in love with a jersey girl,
[04:10.45] and i call your name, i can't sleep at night,
[04:20.31] sha la la la la la la.
