Before this world starts up again It's me and night We wait for the sun The kids and drunks head back inside Well there's lots of smart ideas In books I've never read When the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had Get up! Get up! Turn the ignition Get up! Get up! Fire up the system Play my little part in something big I'll accept with poise, with grace When they draw my name from the lottery And they'll say: 'all the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice' I'm the one who gets away I'm a New Jersey success story And they'll say: 'Lord give me the chance to shake that hand!' They'll say.
