Steve Forbert - Strange Names (North New Jersey's Got Em') Lyrics

Steve Forbert Lyrics

"Strange Names (North New Jersey's Got Em')"

I'm from Piscataway, I'm going that-a-way
West on the Jersey map, out towards the Water Gap
Oh, h-ho ho
Oh, h-ho ho
I've seen Parsippany, northwest of Whippany
Mahwah to Hackensack, I've made the trip and back
Oh, h-ho ho
Oh, h-ho ho

Strange names, North New Jersey's got 'em
Them strange names towns
Strange names, north New Jersey's got 'em
Them strange names towns
Oh, h-ho ho

Hoboken's got me stressed, I'm going to motor west
Out Succasunna way, Netcong or Rockaway
Oh, h-ho ho
Oh, h-ho ho

North New Jersey's got strange names towns a lot
Your cool local spot may or it may have not
Your cool local spot may

I've seen Paramus, well, that's next to Oradell
Hohokus takes the cake, wait, that'd be Cheesequake!
Oh, h-ho ho
Oh, h-ho Ho-ho-kus

Strange names, north New Jersey's got 'em
Them strange names town
Strange names, North New Jersey's got 'em
Them strange names towns
Oh, h-ho ho

North New Jersey's got strange names towns a lot
Your cool local spot may or it may have not
Your cool local spot

North New Jersey's got strange names towns a lot
Your cool local spot may or it may have not
Your cool local spot may

I'm from Piscataway, I'm going that-a-way
