They call it that Jersey Bounce
A rhythm that really counts
The temperature always mounts
Wherever they play the funny 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 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

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
