I got no time for the corner boys

Down in the streets making all that noise
D A
Or the girls out on the avenue
D D7
‘Cause tonight I want to be with you
G
Tonight I’m gonna take that ride
D
Across the river to the Jersey side
A
Take my baby to the carnival
D D7
And I’ll take her on all the rides
G
`Cause down the shore every - thing’s alright

You and your baby on a Saturday night

You know all my dreams come true

When I’m walking down the streets with you

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 some day that she’ll wear my ring
G

You’re lying all dressed up on the bed baby fast asleep
G
Go in the bedroom and put your makeup on
D
We’re gonna take that little brat of yours and drop her off at you mom’s
A
I know a place where the dancing’s free
