on Saturday night
i took my Jersey Girl to a local fight
she used to have an overbite
but her daddy paid the doctor's price
he worked to make her postcard right
but now she finally tried to see
another man to enslave was me
as we walked the streets of center Philly
and i didn't have a single cent
though she certainly had more than three
she wore her thick & wavy hair
in the Hollywood style of debonair
always checking that it was there
she stuck bright extensions in for fun
demanded attention everywhere
her dancing friends floated and smiled
acting silly like a pampered child
if things were normal they went wild
she tossed me like a ball and chain
even though we've reconciled.
