Hey Bitsy, I'm from this city
So please watch how you're talkin'
It's home to me, I love this town
Let me tell you about Weehawken
Now listen, with all due respect
This town's better than you'd expect
Never gonna meet a more friendly bunch
And also many great spots for lunch
Weehawken, that's quite the name
An Indigenous word for the Palisades
Or kinda like that, it's complicated
And by that, I mean appropriated
Anywho, did I mention the view?
Narrows to the G-Dub it's phew!
It's the best spot in thе NoHu
Jersey pride, y'all, lеt me show you
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm from Weehawken
All day we jay-walkin'
Livin' high up on the Palisades
Everybody be flockin'
To Weehawken
You know I'm from Weehawken
Manhattan, keep gawkin'
Hit the ferry as it casts away
Hudson River be rockin'
In Weehawken
When we walk, we walkin' tall
Weehawken, New Jersey, y'all
Yes, I'm proud of the pedigree
Who's from Weehawken, just like me?
Fred Astaire, shake it there
Smell that fish up in the air
Daniel Webster goes way back
And that lady that sang "Love Shack"
Pause it there, I love her hair
I wonder where she gets it done
That's one more thing about this town
We've got such great salons
Can't help but brag
And our history's so cool
We're the home of the Hamilton-Burr duel
There's a park and a plaque, it's top notch
This spot is where Hamilton got shot
What's good everybody on the bluff?
See that's where I grew up
I gotta shout out Weehawken High's Young Ladies' Euchre Club (woot woot)
Our traffic? Slow motion
Our neighbor? Hoboken
We use gender neutral pronouns
Our population is woken
It smells like the ocean
And I'm sorry for the self-promotion
But when I walk out on Hackensack, I gush out with emotion
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm from Weehawken
All day we jay-walkin'
Livin' high up on the Palisades
Everybody be flockin'
To Weehawken
You know I'm from Weehawken
Manhattan, keep gawkin'
Hit the ferry as it casts away
Hudson River be rockin'
In Weehawken
Because we're from Weehawken
This township is rockin'
Livin' high up on the Palisades
Opportunity's knockin'
In Weehawken
You know we're from Weehawken
Manhattan, we're mockin'
Broin' out while we're pumpin' weights
We are proud to be
Weehawken
So please watch how you're talkin'
It's home to me, I love this town
Let me tell you about Weehawken
Now listen, with all due respect
This town's better than you'd expect
Never gonna meet a more friendly bunch
