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
