attention skaters please clean
thank you for your patience
are you up there
it's saturday night at the skater planet
the zambone is on the ice
so we hang around here waiting
all the actions at the mall
but we'd rather be here skating
the actions at the mall
but we'd rather be here skating oh
in new jersey 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
the one i love the one
i'm with the one i love
but my love goes unrequited
i'm with the one i love
but my love goes unrequited oh
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 me
oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
it's saturday night
in buck crack township
on a road without a sign
in a town where there's not much in
forty minutes east of hope
forty miles from a touch in
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 load
i 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's right
nothing is right
it should be right
i'm too awkward i'm too bright
i'm too anxious and 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 ring in new jersey
