down
in the street makin‘ all that noise,

or the girls out
on the avenue,

cause
tonight I wanna be with you.

Tonight I’m gonna take that ride across the river to the Jersey side,

D D7
take my baby to the carnival and I’ll take her on all the rides.
G
‘Cause down the shore everything’s alright,

you and your baby
on a Saturday night.

You know all my dreams come
true,

when
I’m walking down the street with you. Sing ...

2. You know she thrills me
with all her charms,
D
when
I’m wrapped up in my baby’s arms,
A
my
little girl gives me everything,
D - D7
I know some day that she will
wear my ring.
G
So don’t bother
me, man, I ain’t got no time,
D
I’m on my way to
see that girl of mine,
A
’cause nothing matters in this
whole wide world,
D

when
you’re in love with a Jersey girl.

3. I see you on the street and you look so tired,
D
girl,
I know that job you got made you so uninspired,
A
when I come back
I’ll take you out to eat,
D D7
you’re
lyin‘ all dressed up on the bed, baby, fast asleep.
G
Go to the bathroom,
put your make-up on,
D
we’re gonna take that little brat of yours and drop her off at
your mom’s,
A
I know a place
where the dancin‘ is free,
D D7
now,
baby, won’t you come with me.
G
’Cause down the shore
everything’s alright,
D
you and your baby
on a Saturday night,
A
nothing
matters in this whole wide world,
D

when you’re in love with a Jersey girl.
