LYRICS:
On the Jersey shore
Send all our dimes
I was getting change
Back of my mind
Shooting blanks
In Jerseytown
We tunneled in
Manhattan-bound
What can we do?
There's life yet for me
With a sweet young thing
And a cool, cool breeze
To the smokestack chime
We carry forth
Cinder child
And nursery forts
They are saints hovering
The lost soul is carried down
Let him go on a riverbed
God rest your soul
God rest this town
What should we do?
There's life yet for me
With a sweet young thing
And a cool, cool breeze
Say a prayer for me
In the pinball din
Done with glow
Dream the Jersey shore
We kiss in here
On the Jersey shore
Is where I’ll die
Hat in hand
My eyes to the sky
