She owned a hotel on the Jersey shore
She made her living sending
Sailors door to door
He was the small one with a crooked smile
Oh body made her eyes light up like
The heavens on the fourth of July
She ran the numbers they say she ran 'em clean
And those porcelain hands could
Keep a ledger even in her sleep
While he worked the
Seabees in the Philippines
They say she made more money
Than you or I will ever see
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore
If you were looking for love boys
You could've found it in forty-four
'Cause love wore a halo back before the war
When the men loved the women and
The women knew what men were for
It was in the Winter when he came back home
He had to hold those porcelain
Hands just to keep her warm
So they had a daughter they
Named her Stephanie Anne
Hey they sent her off to
Vassar to find herself a family man
Now she sold the hotel it belongs to me
I watch those sailors come
And go like the waves in the seas
I've hung their portraits up in
The honeyoon suite
I hear they're fishin' their
Lives away down in the Florida Keys
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore
If you were looking for love boys
You could've found it in forty-four
Love wore a halo back before the war
Before the war
When the men loved the women and
The women knew what men were for
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore
If you were looking for love boys
You could've found it in forty-four
'Cause love wore a halo back before the war
Before the war
When the men loved the women and
The women knew what men were for
When the men loved the women and
The women knew what men were for
When the men loved the women and
The women knew what men were for
