You better bounce
when you get on the Jersey side.
You gotta bounce when you hear that rhythm ride.
They call it that Jersey bounce,
a rhythm that really counts.
The temperature always mounts.
Oh,
wherever they play the funny rhythm they play.
It started on General Square and somebody heard it there.
They put it right on the air and now you hear it everywhere.
Uptown gave it new licks.
Downtown added some tricks.
Northtown makes it sound the same.
That's where it came from.
So if you don't feel so tight,
go out to some Jersey spot.
Whether you're hip or not,
the Jersey Bounce will make you swing.
Now get in the groove and start it to move bounce all around.
You know you've hit the solid groove
when the rhythm gets slowed down.
If you sway and swoon to Blue Baroon,
a hot,
hot head kept Kella way hip,
hip.
Are you hip to the jive?
Boy, let's bounce.
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 General Square and somebody heard it there.
They put it right on the air and now you hear it everywhere.
Folks uptown gave it solid new licks.
Downtown added some tricks.
And Northtown makes it sound the same.
That's where it came from.
If you don't feel so very hot,
go out to some Jersey spot.
Whether you're hip or not,
give it everything you've got.
Let's jump it up wild.
We can tell by your smile that you can bounce,
bounce,
bounce,
bounce,
bounce,
bounce,
bounce,
bounce,
bounce,
the Jersey Bounce.
