I got no time for the corner boys 
Down on the street making all that noise 
Or the girls out on the avenue 
'Cause tonight I want to 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 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 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 la la la 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
Sha la la la la la la la 
Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl 

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

Sha la la la la la la 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
Sha la la la la la la la 
Sha la la la
I'm in love with a Jersey girl

Sha la la la la la la 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
Sha la la la la la la la La la la la la la
Sha la la la
