Andrews Sisters - HoHoKus, NJ lyrics

rate me

e know a town in the heart of New Jersey,

Where the birds sing all day long.

And it gave us the inspiration,

From which we wrote the following song:

I remember t'was September,

When the crocus first awoke us

To Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ

We were dunkin' with a cruller

Moppin' up the local color

Of Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ

We dropped in at a movie

And sat next to a Queen

Who was every bit as groovy

As the ones on the screen.

So we wrote this hocus-pocus,

So attention we could focus

On Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ.

I'll go my way, you go your way

And we'll never meet in Rahway

Or Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ

All the sweater girls in Teaneck,

Wear a devastating V-neck

They're peculiar that way.

A feller from Bogota

Who would never be missed,

Buys a gal a cherry-soda

And expects to be kissed.

It's lonesome in Passaic,

But the town that takes the ca-ik,

Is Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ.

If you want to, you can walk us

To a town they call Secaucus,

Near Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ

'Cause the fra-cus will be rauc-ous

When Ho-Ho-Kus meets Secaucus

In the big game today.

The ones to whom we've spoken

Never heard of the town.

They confuse it with Sha-no-ken

And it gets us down.

So we wrote this little opus,

Which we'll sing until they choke us

'Bout Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ
