They vall it The Jersey Bounce,
A rhythm that really counts,
The temperature always mounts,
Whenever they play the funny rhythm they play.

It started on Journal Square,
And somebody heard it there,
They put it right on the air,
And now you'll hear it everywhere!

Uptown gave it new licks,
Downtown added some tricks,
No town makes it sound the same
As where it came from.

So if you don't feel so hot,
Go out to some Jersey spot,
And whether you're hep or not,
The Jersey Bounce'll make you swing!

Go out to some Jersey spot,
And whether you're hep or not,
The Jersey Bounce'll make you swing!
