lyrics

I was born in Jersey City
A little baby, oh so pretty
Didn't matter that we were poor
Spent our summers going down the shore

I grew up listening to Bruce & John
Windows down with their music on
& if you wonder why they're so great
It's 'cause they come from the Garden State

You can take me all around the world
But I'll still be a Jersey Girl
If you try me out, give me a whirl
You'll fall in love with a Jersey Girl

We've seen every kind of weather
& they just brought us all together
If you thought we'd crumble, you were wrong
We're forever Jersey Strong

You can take me all around the world
But I'll still be a Jersey Girl
If you try me out, give me a whirl
You'll fall in love with a Jersey Girl

Well there's nothing wrong with London or Paris, Vienna or Rome,
But they don't compare to this place I call home
I'll always be a Jersey Girl

Jersey might not be your scene,
Maybe the streets are just too mean
But I can say without a doubt
If you're not here you're missing out

You can take me all around the world
But I'll still be a Jersey Girl
If you try me out, give me a whirl
You'll fall in love with a Jersey Girl

You can take me all around the world
But I'll still be a Jersey Girl
Your head'll spin like a tilt-a-whirl
When you fall in love with a Jersey Girl
