Strange Names (North New Jersey’s Got Em’) Lyrics by Steve Forbert

Strange Names & New Sensations

0

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

[Instrumental Bridge]
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
