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)
