| 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, he made her eyes light up like the heavens on the fourth of July | |
| She ran the numbers they say she ran 'em clean | |
| 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 | |
| Chorus | |
| 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 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 | |
| Chorus | |
| 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 in the honeyoon suite | |
| I hear they're fishin' their lives away in the Florida Keys | |
| Chorus |
