I’m From New Jersey

Written & Music by Red Mascara

 

Verse (Ad lib)

I know of a state that’s a perfect playland with white sandy beaches by the sea;

With fun-filled mountains, lakes and parks, and folks with hospitality;

With historic towns where battles were fought, and presidents have made their home;

It’s called New Jersey, and I toast and tout it wherever I may roam. ‘Cause . . .

 

First Chorus

I’M FROM NEW JERSEY and I’m proud about it, I love the Garden State.

I’M FROM NEW JERSEY and I want to shout it, I think it’s simply great.

All of the other states throughout the nation may mean a lot to some;

But I wouldn’t want another, Jersey is like no other, I’m glad that’s where I’m from.

 

Second Chorus

If you want glamour, try Atlantic City or Wildwood by the sea;

Then there is Trenton, Princeton, and Fort Monmouth, they all made history.

Each little town has got that certain something, from High Point to Cape May;

And some place like Mantoloking, Phillipsburg, or Hoboken will steal your heart away.
