I Like Jersey Best歌词

[00:04.25]Travelling down the Turnpike
[00:07.00]heading for the shore
[00:09.00]A thought just then occurred to me
[00:11.03]I never thought before
[00:14.00]I've been to a lot of places
[00:16.00]Seen pictures of the rest
[00:18.00]But of all the places I can think of
[00:20.30]I like Jersey best.
[00:24.00]Betting halls, shopping malls,
[00:27.00]good old Rutgers U,
[00:29.45]47 shoes stores line Route 22
[00:34.50]The Meadowlands, the root beer stands
[00:37.00]Main Street Hackensack;
[00:39.00]I may leave for a week or two
[00:41.00]But I'm always coming back.
[00:46.00]The Pinelands and the Vinelands
[00:47.40]Seaside Heights Margate
[00:50.00]You can have Miami
[00:52.00]I love the Garden State
[00:55.02]I've been to a lot of places
[00:57.10]Seen pictures of the rest
[00:59.40]But of all the places I can think of
[01:03.00]I like Jersey best!
[01:05.03]You remember the Paul Simon version, don’t you
[01:17.00]Oh~We have horses, Princeton courses,
[01:20.00]Gas stations we have scores
[01:22.30]Trenton, Hopewell, Lake Hopatcong,
[01:24.30]Mantoloking Shores;
[01:26.50]Some states have their rock stars,
[01:28.50]But Springsteen beats them all—
[01:31.00]And our beautiful arena has
[01:33.00]Brendan Byrne carved on the wall.
[01:43.00]Whoa-oh-oh~~
[01:44.30]Lots of dineries, oil refineries,
[01:46.00]Our highways make you cough,
[01:49.00]But Spring Lake Heights and Belmar
[01:50.00]Are places to get off.
[01:53.00]Drinking spots and used car lots
[01:56.00]Make the place just grand,
[01:58.10]If you want to pay a visit,
[01:59.30]Newark Airport's where you land.
[02:03.00](the Bob Dylan version)
[02:04.55]Oh, the Pinelands and the Vinelands
[02:08.00]Seaside Heights Ha-ho-hee
[02:11.00]You can sail in Miami
[02:15.10]Oh, I really sink to the Garden State
[02:18.50]I’m gonna mi~~~~~~
[02:22.10]and I’m gonna~~~
[02:26.00]But of all the places, I gotta say
[02:29.00]I like Jersey best.
[02:43.00]It’s another New Jersey sunrise……
[02:49.00]Here’s the Beachboys… coming right out to you!
[02:53.00]Philly dogs like Chili dogs
[02:55.40]They eat in Cherry Hill
[02:57.55]Whooo~~
[02:59.50]Woodbridge they make Haagen Dazs
[03:02.00]I can't get my fill
[03:03.40]Whoooo~~~
[03:05.00]Foggy river ain't chopped liver
[03:08.00]Nor is Lavallette
[03:09.50]Whoooooo~~~~
[03:10.40]There are no Jersey strangers,
[03:14.00]Just friends we haven't met! :D
[03:22.00]So is Secaucus!
[03:24.40](the Mel Torme version)
[03:26.00]Let’s go to Jersey now,
[03:28.20]Everybody’s hanging out
[03:29.30]Coming out to Jersey with me.
[03:32.40]~~~~New Jersey
[03:33.00]The Jersey Nets so went thataway, Piscataway no more,
[03:38.50]Whoooooo~~~~
[03:40.00]had another winning season
[03:42.30]And next year they'll win more;
[03:44.40]Our Giants could go all the way
[03:49.00]If they could win just one, (Nah...)
[03:52.00]But the parties in the lots
[03:54.00]Before the games are really fun.
[03:56.00](the Billie Holiday version)
[03:59.00]Ahhh~ Pinelands and the Vinelan~~~
[04:07.00]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[04:36.00]~~~
[04:39.00]You know, eh, before we continue with the Lou Reed version
[04:44.30]I wanna do a couple of new versions for you
[04:47.00]You know, we now have a version of……it was recently covered by the Police with Sting
[04:50.30]1, 2,3, 4
[04:56.00]Travelling down the Turnpike
[04:58.00]heading for the shore
[05:01.00]A thought just then occurred to me
[05:04.00]I never thought before
[05:06.50]I’m going to the Jersey shore
[05:11.00]Ye-oh Yeah-oh
[05:15.00]Thank you

[05:30.40]You can have Miami
[05:35.50]I love the Garden State
[05:37.50]…And of course, the James Tylor version, which is something……
[05:48.00]In my mind I’m going to New Jersey…
[05:56.40]~~~~~~
[06:03.00]You know, the Lou Reed version, is not to be confused with the Lou Rawls version,
[06:09.00]Which goes something like this…
[06:14.30]You’ll never find
[06:18.00]Another state like mine
[06:22.00]A state that cares for you
[06:26.10]Ohhhhhh——You’re gonna miss New Jersey—
[06:29.20]You’re gonna miss you gonna miss——
[06:32.00]Mrs..Mrs. Jones…
[06:34.00]——Oh sorry
[06:38.20]~~~~~
[06:43.00]Made it to the Lou Reed version:
[06:45.00]~~~
[06:48.00]Our famous Parkway is the darkway
[06:51.20]Home from Manasquan
[06:54.00]You'd think for all those quarters
[06:56.00]They'd turn the road lights on
[06:58.00]~~~
[07:03.00]Have no pity, Jersey City
[07:05.00]Once again will shine,
[07:07.50]With Holmdel, Cape May, Philipsburg
[07:10.00]I like our state just fine.
