Lyrics
They call it that jersey bounce
A rhythm that really counts
The temperature always mounts
Whenever they play the crazy rhythm, they play
It started on Journal Square
And somebody heard it there
He put it right on the air
And now you hear it everywhere
Uptown, gave it some licks
Downtown, added some tricks
Now both everywhere they know, just 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
How I love that jersey bounce
Come on and play that jersey bounce
Come on and play that jersey bounce
It started on Journal Square
And somebody heard it there
They played it right on the air
This tune they called the jersey bounce
Now everybody everywhere
Is trying to hear it on the air
And they played it everywhere, this tune called the jersey bounce
Uptown, gave it new licks
Downtown, added some tricks
Now both everywhere they know, just 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
Ounce by ounce
The jersey bounce
Puts you right in the groove
That jersey bounce
It'll make you swing
Give me that jersey bounce ooh, ooh, ooh
Thank you (thank you)
