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
