Lyrics

I'm from New Jersey

I don't expect too much

If the world ended today

I would adjust

I'm from New Jersey

No I don't talk that way

I watched too much TV

When I was young

I'm from New Jersey

My mom's Italian

I've read those mafia books

We don't belong

There are girls from New Jersey

Who have that great big hair

They're found in shopping malls

I will take you there

I'm from New Jersey

It's not like Texas

There is no mystery

I can't pretend

I'm from New Jersey

It's like Ohio

But even more so

Imagine that

I know which exit

And where I'm bound

The tolls on the parkway

They will slow you down

New Jersey people

They will suprise you

Cause they're not expected

To do too much

They will try harder

They may go further

Cause they never think

That they are good enough

I'm from New Jersey

I don't expect too much

If the world ended today

I would adjust

I would adjust

I would adjust
