Tom Waits & Bruce Springsteen Jersey Girl Lyrics
(Live with Bruce Springsteen, 1981)
Got no time for the corner boys
Down in the street makin' all that noise
Don't want no girls 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 on all the rides
Down the shore everything's all right
You with your baby on a Saturday night
Don't you know that my dreams come true
when I'm walkin' down the street with you
Sing sha la la la la la sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la, I'm in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha 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
I know someday she's gonna wear my ring
So don't bother me man 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
Sha la la la la la sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la, I'm in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
And I call your name
I can't sleep at night
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 la
I see you on the street and you look so tired
I know that job you've got leaves you so uninspired
When I come by to take you out to eat
I find you dressed upon the bed and baby, fast asleep
Go in the bathroom, put that make-up on
We're gonna take that little brat of yours, and drop her off at your mom's
Oh, I know a place where the dancin's free
Come on girl, won't you go with me?
Sha la la la la la sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la, I'm in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
I'm in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
