New Jersey Story Lyrics


Vic Ruggiero New Jersey Story


Well John and the neighbors talk about fire
Outside the old front door.
A girl says please "Would you put down the phone?"
And stamps her feet for more.

Bobby's in the fridge looking pensive.
He says "My your beer looks expensive,
You don't even drink it man.
Who'd you buy it for?"

And I said what you gonna do when your dream comes
true? Huh?
Well you probably won't have nothing more to say.
What you gonna do when your dream comes true,
If I make your dream come true for you?
Will you tell me that you'll go away?

Well I look like a poet and I don't even know it
Until somebody tells me so.
He said "Hey Tom Sawyer, how's your lawyer?"
I said "Rich, far as I know."

He said "Hey Hemingway man what do you say?
Why you look so glum for?"
I said "The basket and the dryer don't line up right,
And all my clean clothes fall on the floor."

And I said what you gonna do when your dream comes
true? Huh?
Well you probably won't have nothing more to say.
What you gonna do when your dream comes true,
If I make your dream come true for you?
Will you tell me that you'll go away?

Well I found a genie in a lamp when the weather was
damp in 1984,
But I kept it to myself
And I put it on a shelf
Because I didn't know what to wish for.

In 1999 the weather was fine and they said the world
was gonna end,
So I rubbed that lamp,
And I made a little wish,
And we all woke up again.

And I said what you gonna do when your dream comes
true? Huh?
You probably won't have nothing more to say.
What you gonna do when your dream comes true,
If I make your dream come true for you?
Will you tell me that you'll go away?
If I make your dream come true for you today?
If I make your dream come true for you today?
If I make your dream come true for you today.
