Way on the other side of the hudson,
Deep in the bosom of suburbia,
I met a young girl, she sang mighty fine,
Tears on my pillow and ave maria.
Standing by the waterfall in paramus park
She was working for the friends-of-bai
She was collecting quarters in a paper cup.
She was looking for change and so was i.
She was a jewish girl. I fell in love with her.
She wrote her number on the back of my hand.
I called her up, I was all out of breath, I said,
Come hear me play in my rock and roll band.
I took a shower and I put on my best blue jeans.
I picked her up in my new vw van.
She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath.
I said, hi. she said, yeah, I guess I am.
Ariel
We had a little time, we were real hungry.
We went to dairy queen for something to eat.
She had some onion rings. she had a pickle.
She forgot to tell me that she didnt eat meat.
I had a gig in the american legion hall.
It was a dance for the volunteer ambulance corp.
She was sitting in a corner against the wall.
She would smile and I melted all over the floor.
Ariel
I took her home with me. we watched some tv,
Annette funicello and some guy going steady.
I started fooling around with the vertical hold.
We got the munchies and I made some spaghetti.
We sat and we talked into the night,
While channel 2 was signing off the air.
I found the softness of her mouth.
We made love to bombs bursting in arrrrrriel.

Al otro lado del río Hudson,
En lo más profundo de los suburbios,
Conocí a una joven, cantaba muy bien,
Lágrimas en mi almohada y ave maría.
Parada junto a la cascada en el parque de Paramus,
Trabajaba para los amigos de Bai,
Recolectaba monedas en una taza de papel,
Buscaba un cambio y yo también.
Era una chica judía. Me enamoré de ella,
Escribió su número en el dorso de mi mano.
La llamé, estaba sin aliento,
Le dije, ven a escucharme tocar en mi banda de rock and roll.
Me duché y me puse mis mejores jeans azules,
La recogí en mi nueva furgoneta VW.
Llevaba una blusa campesina sin nada debajo,
Le dije, hola. Ella dijo, sí, supongo que lo soy.
Ariel
Tuvimos un poco de tiempo, teníamos mucha hambre,
Fuimos a Dairy Queen a comer algo.
Ella tenía aros de cebolla, tenía un pepinillo,
Se olvidó de decirme que no comía carne.
Tenía un concierto en el salón de la Legión Americana,
Era un baile para el cuerpo de ambulancias voluntarias.
Ella estaba sentada en una esquina contra la pared,
Sonreía y yo me derretía en el suelo.
Ariel
La llevé a casa conmigo. Vimos un poco de televisión,
Annette Funicello y un chico saliendo juntos.
Empecé a jugar con el control vertical.
Nos dio hambre y preparé un poco de espagueti.
Nos sentamos y hablamos hasta la noche,
Mientras el canal 2 se desconectaba del aire.
Encontré la suavidad de su boca,
Hicimos el amor con bombas explotando en arrrrrriel.
