I never traveled further North than old Van Courtland Park
And never further South than the aquarium
I've seen the charm of Jersey City, but first, let me remark
I saw it from the Empire State solarium
But I've been putting nickels in the postal savings bank
And when those nickels pile up, we can toddle off in swank
And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour
I mean a cabin de-luxe tour
Someday, we'll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant
But at present,
Let's take a walk around the block
I give you my promise
