Jersey Bounce

They call it the Jersey bounce

A rhythm that really counts

The temperature always mounts

Whenever 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

Yeah, the Jersey bounce'll make you swing

They call it the Jersey bounce

It's a rhythm that really counts

The temperature always mounts

Whenever they play, the funny rhythm they play

It started on Journal Square

Yeah, somebody heard it there

He put it right on the air

Oh, and now they 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

Oh, you know, the Jersey bounce will make you swing

Ounce by ounce, the Jersey bounce

Puts you right in the swing

The Jersey bounce, it'll make you swing

Yes, give me that Jersey bounce
