lyrics

VERSE 1:
Robert Moses had a grand plan
But the bridges and tunnels are so jammed
Its great seeing you and holding your hand
But this culture shock, I can't stand

CHORUS:
NJ just isn't NY, I tried
NJ just isn't NY, I tried
I'll take a blood test and you'll see why
NJ just isn't NY, I tried

Said I love you, oh I let that slip

I'll take a blood test and you'll see why
NJ just isn't NY, I tried

BRIDGE:
I gave you over a dozen reasons but it doesn't (3x)
Make you wanna move to my side of the Hudson

CHORUS:
NJ just isn't NY, I tried
NJ just isn't NY, I tried
I'll take a blood test and you'll see why
NJ just isn't NY, I tried
