INTRODUCTION
D A D A D
VERSE 1
D A
I got no time for the corner boys
D
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
D
You and your baby on a Saturday night
A
You know all my dreams come true
D D7
When I’m walking down the streets with you
CHORUS
G D
Sha la la la la la la la, Sha la la la la la la la

Sha la la la la la la la, Sha la la la I`m in Love with a Jersey girl

Sha la la la la la la la, Sha la la la la la
VERSE 2
D 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 some day that she’ll wear my ring
G
So don’t bother me man I ain’t got no time
D
I’m on my way to see that girl of mine
A
`Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world
D D7
When you’re in love with a Jersey girl
CHORUS

VERSE 3
D G
I see you on the streets and you look so tired
D
Girl I know that job you got leaves you so un - inspired
A
When I come by to take you out to eat
D
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
