Don't come to New Jersey
And don't make it your home.
We have the smog here,
Just like there is in L.A.
You wouldn't want to visit here;
You just wouldn't have a good time.
The air is full of pollution
And the beaches are covered
With green New York slime.
The forests are trashy
And the cancer rate is high.
Life just isn't good here
Like they show on TV.
So, don't come to New Jersey
And don't make it your home.
We have enough problems here,
And we don't need yours, too.
