way out west in jersey - kurt weill lyrics
[mrs. kramer]
yippi*yi, away out west in jersey
i declare these are the thoughts i thunk
yippi*yi, if jersey looks like this to me
either jersey or me is drunk
by the time i reached weehawken
with my banjo on my knee
yippi*yi, i heard the natives talkin’
and i knowed that it wasn’t me
[rodney, gloria & mrs. kramer]
oh, new jersey, oh, new jersey
it’s a land we proudly hail—all hail!
no matter what the weather’s
you’ll enjoy the tar and feathers
when you’re riding through new jersey on a rail
[gloria]
yippi*yi, the cowboys in hohokus
haven’t seen a woman in a year
yippi*yi, when their minds begin to focus
they have got only one idea
oh, i met with one in rahway
he said courtin’ was sublime
but i found that his way wasn’t my way
yippi*yi, and i shot him just in time
[rodney, gloria & mrs. kramer]
oh, new jersey, oh, new jersey
it’s a land we proudly hail—all hail!
you’ll enjoy the friendly tussle
with the cactus in your bustle
when you’re riding through new jersey on a rail
[rodney]
yippi*yi, across the jersey border
at the bar, politicians are a plague
yippi*yi, whatever drink you order
it turns out to be hague and hague
oh, a buckaroo from texas
ran for marshal of passaic
so much lead landed in his solar plexus
now he rattles just like a snake
[rodney, gloria & mrs. kramer]
oh, new jersey, oh, new jersey
it’s a land we proudly hail—all hail!
you will bellow like an oxen
for a shot of anti*toxin
when you’re riding
when you’re riding
when you’re riding through new jersey on a rail
