Got no time for the cornerboys, down on the street makin' all that noise

Cause tonight I'm gonna take that ride, across the river to the Jersey side

Take my baby to the carnival and I'll take her on all the rides

Down the shore everythings alright, you with your baby on a Saturday night

My little angel gives me everything, I know someday she'll wear my ring
