Attention skaters!
Please, clear the rink while the ice is resurfaced
Thank you for your patience
(Nice wipeout Marty)
It's Saturday night at Skater Planet
The Zamboni's on the ice
So we hang around here waiting
All the action's at the mall
But we'd rather be here skating
The action's at the mall
But we'd rather be here skating
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
In New Jersey
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
It's Saturday night in Bergen County
There are parties everywhere
But we never get invited
And I'm with the one I love (I'm with the one I love)
I'm with the one I love (I'm with the one I love)
But my love was unrequited
I'm with the one I love
But my love was unrequited
Ah ah ah ah
Nothing's right!
Nothing is what it should be
Shoes are stinky
Pay's not great
Skating's free, but I can't skate
'Cause my ankles tend to roll
In New Jersey
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
It's Saturday night in butt crack township
On a road without a sign
In a town where there's not much in
40 minutes east of hope
40 miles from Metuchen
I'm with the one I love
It's Saturday night
And I'm the new girl
So I get to start from scratch
Next to Lodi this is dreamy
Sure, tonight I'm getting looks
But tomorrow they might see me
(I'm always getting looks)
They never really see me
In New Jersey (in New Jersey)
In New Jersey!
Nothing's right! (nothing)
Nothing is what it should be (is right)
I'm too awkward
I'm too bright
I'm too anxious
I'm too polite
We're too chipper
We're too loud
We don't blend into a crowd
We're too weird in every way
I think Springsteen's just okay
Which is not a thing to think in New Jersey
At least we have the rink in New Jersey
Ah ah
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
