I know of a state that’s a perfect playland
With white sandy beaches by the sea;
With fun-filled mountains, lakes and parks
And folks with hospitality;
With historic towns where battles were fought
And presidents have made their home;
It’s called New Jersey and I toast and tout it
Wherever I may roam. ’Cause:
I’m from New Jersey and I’m proud about it,
I love the Garden State;
I’m from New Jersey and I want to shout it,
I think it’s simply great.
All of the other states throughout the nation
May mean a lot to some;
But I wouldn’t want another, Jersey is like no other,
I’m glad that’s where I’m from.
If you want glamour, try Atlantic City
Or Wildwood by the sea;
Then there is Trenton, Princeton and Fort Monmouth,
They all made history.
Each little town has got that certain something,
From High Point to Cape May;
And some place like Mantoloking, Phillipsburg or Hoboken
Will steal your heart away.
