D                     A                                      D

I got no time for the corner boys, down in the street making all that noise

                        A                             D  (Dsus4, D)

Or the girls out on the avenue ‘cause tonight I wanna be with you

                   G                                      D

Tonight I'm gonna take that ride, ‘cross the river to the Jersey side

                    A                              D   (Dsus4, D)

Take my baby to the carnival, and I'll take her on all the rides

                           G                                       D

'Cause down the shore everything's all right, you and me baby on a Saturday night

                A                                           D  (Dsus4, D)

You know all my dreams come true, when I'm walking down the street with you

             G                             D

Sha la la la la la la,  Sha la la la la la la la la

                A                              D           (Dsus4  D)

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

             G                             D

Sha la la la la la la,  Sha la la la la la la la la

                A                    D  Dsus4  D

Sha la la la la la la la,  Sha la la la

                             G

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

I know that some day she'll wear my ring

                               G

So don't bother me man I ain't got no time

                           D

I'm on the way to see that girl of mine

                               A

'Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world

                           D  (Dsus4,D)

When you're in love with a Jersey girl

 

Chorus

                               G

I see you on the street and you look so tired

                                   D

I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired

                           A

When I come by to take you out to eat

                                   D

You're lyin' all dressed up on the bed baby fast asleep

                                G

Go in the bathroom and put your makeup on

                                               D

We're gonna take that little brat of yours and drop her off at your mom's

                         A                                  D   (Dsus4,D)

I know a place where the dancing's free, now baby won't you come with me

                           G                                         D

´Cause down the shore everything's all right, you and your baby on a Saturday night

                        A                                            D  (Dsus4,D)

Nothing matters in this whole wide world, when you're in love with a Jersey girl

Chorus
