( D )                G                                    D 
Got no time for the cornerboys, down on the street makin' all that noise 
                              A7sus4                          D 
Don't want no whores on eight avenue 'cause tonight I'm gonna be...with you 
                        G                                       D 
Cause tonight I'm gonna take that ride, across the river to the Jersey side 
                    A7sus4                        D 
Take my baby to the carnival and I'll take her on all the rides 
             G                                      D 
Down the shore everythings alright, you with your baby on a Saturday night 
                      A7sus4                                      D 
Don't you know all my dreams come true, when I'm walkin' down the streets with you 


Chorus 1: 

             G      D                  A7sus4             D

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, I know someday she'll wear my ring 
                               G                                      D 
So don't bother me 'cause I've got no time, I'm on my way to see that girl of mine 
                        Asus4                            D 
Nothing matters in this whole wide world, when you're in love with a jersey girl 


Chorus 2: 

             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 
Sha la lala la sha lala la la la, sha la la, la la la, sha la la la la la
