Jumpin' John and Pumpin' Paul's ode to the women of New Jersey.
Lyrics
Jersey Girls
Words and Music by Paul Nahay and John Sawoski
PAUL: I was walking down the street in L.A.
When I was approached by an incredible babe.
She must have though that I was hip
'Cause she asked me to watch her do the Sunset Strip
Now it sounded real tempting, but I had to decline
As she didn't measure up to certain standards of mine
She had a mega-babe topography
But she was handicapped geographically
GIRLS: Give me a Jersey Girl, a Jersey Girl
BOTH: (Jersey Girls, Jersey Girls)
GIRLS: Give me a Jersey Girl, a Jersey Girl
BOTH: (Jersey Girls, Jersey Girls)
JOHN: As I was hailin' a cab on the Upper West Side,
A sexy lady in a limo offered me a ride
I said I had to make the World Trade Center in an hour
When she opened up her blouse and showed
her own Twin Towers
Now, I hope I wasn't rude turning down her invitation,
But I had some reservations about her present location
Though it's clear I could've had some sophisticated futzin'
The ass is always greener on the other side of the Hudson
GIRLS: Give me a Jersey Girl, a Jersey Girl
JOHN: From High Point down to Cape May,
only Jersey Girls do it my way
GIRLS: Give me a Jersey Girl, a Jersey Girl
PAUL: From Atlantic City to Cherry Hill,
only Jersey Girls give me that thrill
ALL: I want a Jersey Girl
Not an L.A. or New York girl
'Cause only Jersey Girls
Do it in New Jersey all night long
(Guitar Solo)
BOTH: (Jersey Girls, Jersey Girls)
(Guitar Solo)
BOTH: (Jersey Girls, Jersey Girls)
PAUL: I was admiring the Mona Lisa in the Louvre
When two Parisian chicks asked me out to groove
I said I was in France to enhance my education
So they said they'd be my guide on a menage à trois vacation
Now I didn't want to hurt Franco-American relations
But I RSVP'd "no" in spite of their strong protestations
For I knew then what I needed,
and my craving made me frantic
For the women that I wanted only lived across the Atlantic
GIRLS: Give me a Jersey Girl, a Jersey Girl
BOTH: (Jersey Girls, Jersey Girls)
GIRLS: Give me a Jersey Girl, a Jersey Girl
BOTH: (Jersey Girls, Jersey Girls)
GIRLS: Give me a Jersey Girl, a Jersey Girl
JOHN: From High Point down to Cape May,
only Jersey Girls do it my way
GIRLS: Give me a Jersey Girl, a Jersey Girl
PAUL: From Atlantic City to Cherry Hill,
only Jersey Girls give me that thrill
GIRLS: Give me a Jersey Girl, a Jersey Girl
BOTH: (Jersey Girls, Jersey Girls)
GIRLS: Give me a Jersey Girl, a Jersey Girl
BOTH: (Jersey Girls, Jersey Girls)
