Jimmy:
In the day we sweat it out on the streets stuck in traffic on the GWB
They shut down the tollbooths of glory because we didn’t endorse Christie

Sprung from cages on Highway 9
We got three lanes closed, So Jersey get your ass in line

Ooohhh, baby this Bridgegate was just pay back
It’s a bitch slap to the state Democrats
We gotta get out but we can’t,
We’re stuck in Governor Chris Christie’s Fort Lee New Jersey traffic jam.

[The real Springsteen walks out]

Bruce:
Governor, let me in, I wanna be your friend
They’ll be no partisan divisions
Let me wrap my legs ’round your mighty rims
And relieve your stressful conditions

We’ve got Wall Street masters stuck cheek to cheek
With blue-collar truckers, and man I really gotta take a leak
But I can’t
I’m stuck in Governor Chris Christie’s Fort Lee New Jersey traffic jam

[Guitar solo]

1, 2, 3, 4!

Jimmy:
Highways jammed with pissed off drivers with no place left to go
And the press conference went on and on

Bruce:
It was longer than one of my own damn shows

Jimmy:
Some day Governor, I don’t know when
This will all end, but ’til then

Together:
You’re killin’ the workin’ man.
Who’s stuck in Governor Chris Christie’s Fort Lee New Jersey traffic jam.

Whoa whoa whoa!
Whoa whoa whoa!

Bruce:
I gotta take a leak! I really gotta take a leak!

Together:
Down in Jersey land!

5 Thoughts to “Down in Jersey Land…the Tollbooths of Glory”

  1. Lyssa

    Oh that is rich.

  2. George S. Harris

    Hope they sent a copy to Christie!

    Christie has always been a very vocal fan of Springsteen’s work — sometimes even acting a tad silly about it. The Guv probably feels like he got dissed by an old friend and idol.

    1. I sort of felt sorry for him too although Springsteen has never been his friend–quite the opposite actually. Springsteen has dissed him for years. I think he backed off a little after Sandy.

  4. Rick Bentley

    Christie is toast. And deserves to be.
