I [A]
[D]
[A]
[Em] [F#] got no [A] time for the corner [C#m] boys
[A] Down in the street [D] making all that noise
For the girls out on [A] the edge
Cause tonight I [D] wanna be with you
Tonight [G] I'm gonna take that ride
Cross the river [D] to the Jersey side
Take my baby [A] to the carnival
And I'll take her [D] on all the rides
Cause down the shore [G] everything's alright
You and your [D] baby on a Saturday night
Now you know all [A] my dreams come true
When I'm walking down [D] the street with you
Sing sha-la-la-la [G]-la

She gives me with all her charm
When I'm wrapped up in [D] my baby's arms
My little girl gives [A] me everything
I know someday that [D] she'll wear my [E] ring
[D] So don't bother me man [G] I ain't got no time
I'm on my way to [D] see that [D] girl of mine
There's nothing matters [A] in this whole wide world
When you're in love [D] with a [E] Jersey [D] girl

I see you on the [G] street and you look so tired
Girl I know that job [D] you got leaves you so uninspired
When I come by [A] they'll take you out to eat
You're [C#] lying all dressed up on the [D] bed and baby fast asleep
Go in the bathroom and [G] put your makeup on
We're gonna take that little brat of [D] yours and drop her off at your mom's
I know a [A] place where the dancing's free
Now baby [D] won't you come with me
Cause down the shore [G] everything's alright
You and your baby [D] and your Saturday night
Nothing matters [A] so much, well, no girl, no no
We're in love [D] with the Jersey girl
