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
Standin` by the waterfall at Paramus park
She was workin` for the friends of BAI
She was collectin` quarters in a paper cup
She was lookin` 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 outta breath
I said Come hear me play in the 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 peasont blouse with nothin` underneath
I said Hi
She said Yeah, I guess I am
Ariel Ariel
We had a little time
We were real hungry
We went to Dairy Queen for somethin` to eat
She some onion rings, she had a pickle
She forgot to tell me that she didn`t eat meat.
I had a gig in the American Legion hall
It was a dance for the volunteer ambulance corp
She was sittin` in her corner against the wall
She would smile and I melted all over the floor
Ariel Ariel
I took her home with me
We watchin` TV
Annette Funicello and some guy goin` steady
I started foolin` around with the vertical hold
We got the munchies and I made some spaghetti
We sat and we talked into the night
While channel two was signin` off the air
I found the softness of her mouth
We made love to bombs burstin` in air
Ariel Ariel
Ariel Ariel
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
Tears on my pillow
and Ave Maria
Tears on my pillow
and Ave Maria
