( D )                G                                    D 
Got no time for the cornerboys, down in the street makin' all that noise 
                         A7sus4                          D 
The girls out on the avenue 'cause tonight I wanna be...with you 
                        G                                       D 
Cause tonight I'm gonna take that ride, across the river to the Jersey side 
                      A7sus4                   D 
Takin' my baby to the carnival and take her on all the rides 
                     G                                      D 
Cause down the shore everythings alright, you and your baby on a Saturday night 
                A7sus4                                      D 
You know all my dreams come true, when I'm walkin' down the street with you 
 
 
 
             G      D                  A7sus4             D 
Sing sha la lala la sha lala la la la, sha la la, la la la I'm in love with a Jersey Girl 
G                D                    A7sus4              D

You know she thrills me with all her charms, when I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms 
                Asus4                D 
My little angel gives me everything, someday she's gonna wear my ring 
                                  G                                        D 
So don't bother me man I've got no time, I'm on my way to see that girl of mine 
                             Asus4                                          D 
Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world, when you're in love with a jersey girl 
 
 
 
 
G              D                  A7sus4             D

I see you on the street and you look so tired, I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired  
                                  Asus4                                           D 
When I come by to take you out to eat, you're lyin' all dressed up on the bed baby fast asleep  
                             G                                                         D

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

'Cause down the shore everything's all right, you and your baby on a Saturday night  
                          Asus4                                      D
