Jersey Girl (tom Waits)

I got no time for the corner boys

Down in the street making 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

Take my baby to the carnival

And i'll take her on all the rides



`cause down the shore everything's all right

You and your baby on a saturday night

You know all my dreams come true

When i'm walking down the street with you



Sha la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la

Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl



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 that some day she'll wear my ring

So 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

When you're in love with a jersey girl



Sha la la la...



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 lyin' 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

Now baby won't you come with me

`cause down the shore everything's all right

You and your baby on a saturday night

Nothing matters in this whole wide world

When you're in love with a jersey girl
