about

Originally appeared on the album "Soul In Exile 2: Jersey Shore Baby" by The Hesh Inc. (2007)

lyrics

This is the story of a love affair
Of passion and despair
with that lazy crazy place
The holy city the holy land oh Lord have mercy
Jerusalem New Jersey
to me it’s no disgrace
Who’s that child sitting in the stroller
A junior rock’n’roller
in front of daddy’s hotel
Ridin’ across the sky suspended from a cable
Mixing bowl cradle
casino carousel

Well folks met folks and the seeds of love were sown
Paradise found now for the time it could be home
In the wild turbulence the seeds were scattered and blown
But what’s been planted must grow
Thus did the Jersey Shore Baby

I once shared a playpen with an inner lake angel baby
And maybe just maybe
she rubbed off on me
And when thirteen came around there came the magical weekend
Off the lovers’ deep end
between I and she
I found the secret to life on a lucky charm imprinter
And I shattered to splinters
all I used to be
From neb-nerd to cool no longer a pushover
The old way was over
and I felt so free

I made this town mine I made it all my own
Dreamland high above all the mundanities of home
I had stumbled upon Eden but my flight fell like a stone
Into open ended exile thrown
Orphaned Jersey Shore Baby

A simpler time in the not too distant past
When the cars were fast
and the love was in bloom
A more innocent age when the buildings were standing
Life wasn’t so demanding
and the bust was a boom
Maybe one day I can end this dispersion
With no more diversion
keeping me from my one true love
Well it’s no time to bitch it’s time to get moving
About time to start proving
these dreams made flesh and blood

And though what we grew up with in our generation
May have fallen into disintegration
But I’m marshaling forces to turn desolation
Into paradise by the sea, I’m the Jersey Shore
Rebuild the scenery, I’m the Jersey Shore
Well come waltz with me
I’m the Jersey Shore Baby
