[Verse 1]

D
Got no time for the cornerboys
G
Down on the street makin' all that noise
A7sus4
Don't want no whores on eight avenue
D
'cause tonight I'm gonna be with you

                  G
tonight I'm gonna take that ride
                        D
across the river to the Jersey side
                    A7sus4
Take my baby to the carnival
                     D   G/D D
and I'll take her on all the rides
                     G
Down the shore everythings allright
                        D
You with your baby on a saturday night
                      A7sus4
Don't you know all my dreams come true
                          D       D/G  D
When I'm walkin' down the streets with you

[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

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


[Chorus]

     D7           G                D        A7sus4     D

      D    A7sus4 D
and I call your name
              A  D
I can't sleep at night
D7
shalala
