He owned a hotel on Jersey shore |
|
She made her living seeing the sailors door to door |
|
He was a small Hawaiian with a crooked smile |
|
But he made her eyes light up like the heavens on the 4th of July |
|
She ran the numbers, they say she ran them clean |
|
And those porcelain hands keep a ledger even in her sleeves |
|
While he worked the See-Bees in the Philippines |
|
They say she made more money than you and I will ever see |
|
'Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore |
|
If you were looking for love, boys, you could have found it in '44 |
|
'Cause love wore a halo back before the war |
|
When the men loved the women |
|
And the women knew what men were for |
|
It was in the winter when he came home |
|
And he had to hold those porcelain hands just to keep her warm |
|
So they had a daughter, they named her Stephanie Anne |
|
Hey, they sent her off to Vasser to find herself a family man |
|
'Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore |
|
If you were looking for love, boys, you could have found it in '44 |
|
'Cause love wore a halo back before the war |
|
When the men loved the women |
|
And the women knew what men were for |
|
She sold the hotel, it belongs to me |
|
And I watch those sailors come and go by the waves in the sea |
|
From the poor chaps in the honeymoon suite |
|
And I hear their fishing their lives away in the Florida Keys |
|
'Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore |
|
If you were looking for love, boys, you could have found it in '44 |
|
'Cause love wore a halo back before the war |
|
When the men loved the women |
|
And the women knew what men were for |
|
[Incomprehensible] |
|
When the men loved the women |
|
And the women knew what men were for |
|
[Incomprehensible] |
|
When the men loved the women |
|
And the women knew what men were for |
|
[Incomprehensible] |
