So Much To See

Music and Lyrics by Brandon Michael Lowden ‘09

RANDY
Who wants to see the Mona Lisa?
She kinda got a crummy attitude

COOKIE
Forget the Leaning Tow’r of Pisa,
Cause if it falls on you you’re pretty screwed

RANDY
Sure, Egypt’s got a lot of culture

COOKIE
But all those pyramids get in the way

COOKIE & RANDY
Why travel to Trafalgar Square?
Just step across the Delaware
Join us and leave today!

TOURIST #1
There’s such a wealth of information
To be provided by the friendly staff!

TOURIST #2
It’s not the birthplace of a nation
But it’s the birthplace of the phonograph!

TOURIST #3
This place is wondrous and exciting
It’s called the “Diamond of the Eastern Shore”

COOKIE & RANDY
Come on, we’ll take you by the hand
To Frank Sinatra’s native land
See what we’ve got in store!

ALL
So much to see and to do in New Jersey
A magical journey that you never knew
Get your tickets and don’t be late
Take a tour at the discount rate
Of the Garden State
It’s gonna be great!

CONSTRUCTION WORKER
The working man makes up a quarter
Of our industrial economy

COP
We all believe in law and order
And the importance of the family

ATHLETE
We know the rousing thrill of vict’ry
We’re also well acquainted with defeat

ALL
We’ve got a strange propensity
For population density
You'd best reserve your seat!
So much to see and to do in New Jersey
A magical journey that you never knew
Get your tickets and don’t be late
Take a tour at the discount rate
Of the Garden State
It’s gonna be great!

ALL
It's where Buzz Aldrin first got space-y
And Jon Bon Jovi lived here on a prayer
And don’t forget to count Count Basie
The Jersey wind blew Einstein’s crazy hair
Both Meryl Streep and John Travolta
Were born and raised in the New Jersey way
And if you don’t believe the rest
We’ve got a very special guest
He’s got some words to say. Hey!

SPRINGSTEEN
In a Jersey town I was born to run
Over Jersey hills in the Jersey sun
On the Jersey streets spent my glory days
With a Jersey girl in a Jersey haze
Come and see me in Asbury Park
You’re all gonna be dancing in the dark

ALL
I hear they’ve got a spoon museum
Get off your ass and carpe diem
I bet it’s fun, I’m gonna run
I wanna see ‘em!
This place has so much to explore
I wanna see the Jersey shore
I wanna go, I wanna know
I wanna learn more!

COOKIE & RANDY
Well you’re about to share with us
The most excitement on a bus
Since that one movie where they couldn’t use the brakes

ALL
We’ll show you where a cannonball
Once hit the wall of Nassau Hall
And then the very best of all
Find out what Trenton makes!
So much to see and to do in New Jersey
(Who wants to see the Mona Lisa? 
She kinda got a crummy attitude)
A magical journey that you never knew
(Forget the Leaning Tow’r of Pisa, 
Cause if it falls you’re screwed)
Never mind the admission fee
There’s a lot you can do for free
Here in New Jersey
It’s the place to be

RANDY
So come on and follow me!

COOKIE
…and me!

ALL
There’s so much to see!
