Living in New Jersey
There's nothing much to do
But jump across the Hudson
And on 7th Avenue
Come Carnegie Boogie
The horn, the loud
Come Carnegie Boogie
The jazzy crowd
Come Carnegie Boogie The cars are piled
Come Carnegie Boogie The jams are wild
Slick was catching 40 When he got a call from Shorty
Shouting something about a jam parade Slick said,
Shorty
Could you call me back in 40?
Cause it's dreamland in Jersey
Shorty said,
Slick,
you better wake up quick The cat's jamming up at Carnegie Hall
Slick said,
Shorty,
well I'll meet you there in 40 We're gonna have a
St. Paul Carnegie Boogie
The horns are loud Come Carnegie Boogie
The jazzy crowd Come Carnegie Boogie
The cars are piled Come Carnegie Boogie
The jams are wild
Slick met Shorty just a minute past
40 Slipping up the steps of Carnegie
Shorty said,
Slick,
we better slip in quick Before they bounce us back to Jersey
Slick said,
Brother,
I got the whole thing undercover
Here's the way we're gonna see the show
We'll find two ladies,
two sophisticated ladies We're gonna sit in the front row Come
Carnegie Boogie The horns are loud Come Carnegie Boogie The jazzy
crowd Come Carnegie Boogie The cars are piled Come Carnegie Boogie
The jams are wild
So Shorty started hitting on a real cool
kitten She was sitting with a hip wazzy
Shorty said,
Kitten,
how'd you feel about sitting on my rock here?
Now the kitten's old man,
he didn't dig this master plan
He hollered, Bouncer, show these boys the score
So Slick and Shorty,
well they slipped the bouncer 40
And then they slipped in
the stage door
Come Carnegie Boogie The horns are loud
Come Carnegie Boogie The jazzy crowd
The cars are piled come Carnegie Boogie
The jams are wild Come Carnegie Boogie
The horns are loud Come Carnegie Boogie
The jazzy crowd Come Carnegie Boogie
The cars are piled Come Carnegie Boogie
The jams are wild
You must be jelly cuz jam don't shake like this
