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"

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
