JERSEY GIRL (Tom Waits)

<br>I got no time for the corner boys<br>Down in the street making all that noise<br>Or the girls out on the avenue<br>`Cause tonight I wanna be with you<br>Tonight I`m gonna take that ride<br>Across the river to the Jersey side<br>Take my baby to the carnival<br>And I`ll take her on all the rides<br><br>`Cause down the shore everything`s all right<br>You and your baby on a Saturday night<br>You know all my dreams come true<br>When I`m walking down the street with you<br><br>Sha la la la la la la<br>Sha la la la la la la la la<br>Sha la la la la la la<br>Sha la la la I`m in love with a Jersey girl<br><br>You know she thrills me with all her charms<br>When I`m wrapped up in my baby`s arms<br>My little girl gives me everything<br>I know that some day she`ll wear my ring<br>So don`t bother me man I ain`t got no time<br>I`m on my way to see that girl of mine<br>`Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world<br>When you`re in love with a Jersey girl<br><br>Sha la la la...<br><br>I see you on the street and you look so tired<br>I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired<br>When I come by to take you out to eat<br>You`re lyin` all dressed up on the bed baby fast asleep<br>Go in the bathroom and put your makeup on<br>We`re gonna take that little brat of yours and drop her off at your mom`s<br>I know a place where the dancing`s free<br>Now baby won`t you come with me<br>`Cause down the shore everything`s all right<br>You and your baby on a Saturday night<br>Nothing matters in this whole wide world<br>When you`re in love with a Jersey girl
