lyrics

Jersey Mary
(Words & Music by Jim Butterfield)

I met a Jersey Girl, who thought she knew the world
I think it happened in a club down in Soho
She gave me such a dirty glance, and after just one dance
Tried to convince me that I shouldn’t stay solo

CHORUS
Mary, Mary, Mary you look so fine
But I just don’t have time, to train another one
Mary, Jersey Mary, you’re so damn cute
But you’re a substitute, this just couldn’t be fun (no way)

Mary had too much to drink, at least that’s what I think
She ended passed out on the bar in a coma
The only I.D. I could make, was obviously fake
She’s not some California girl from Sanoma (she’s from Jersey)

LONG CHORUS
Mary, Mary, Mary you look so fine
But I just don’t have time, to train another one
Mary, Jersey Mary, you’re so damn cute
But you’re a substitute, and this just couldn’t be fun
You’re so fine, but not mine
Maybe another place, or just some other time
Mary, Jersey Mary, gotta get you home
But I was on my own, and she was no help at all (Oh, no)

I carried Mary to the PATH, and with a little math
I figured twenty’d get her halfway through Jersey
I pinned a letter to her sweater, for the Transit Cops who met her
“Hi, I’m Mary. I live somewhere in Jersey” (get down)

END CHORUSES
Mary, Mary, Mary you look so fine
But I just don’t have time, to train another one
Mary, Jersey Mary, you’re so damn cute
But you’re a substitute, and this just wouldn’t be fun
You’re alright, not tonight
I gotta balance all my options, pick the one that seems right
Mary, Jersey Mary, it was fun for a while
But it’s just not my style, to look the other way
Fine, fine - Mary of mine
You were the Valentine, that I never had
Mary, Mary, Mary you look so fine
But I just don’t have time, to train another one
Mary, Jersey Mary, you’re so damn cute
But you’re a substitute, and this just wouldn’t be right (no way)
(No….not tonight)
