Kimberly Akimbo Original Broadway Cast, Victoria Clark, Nina White, Fernell Hogan, Michael Iskander, Justin Cooley and Olivia Elease Hardy - Skater Planet

Attention Skaters, please clear the rink while the ice is resurfaced
Thank you for your patience

It's Saturday night at Skater Planet
The Zamboni's on the ice
So we hang around here waiting
All the action's at the mall
But we'd rather be here skating
The action's at the mall
But we'd rather be here skating

Ah-ah
In New Jersey
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh

It's Saturday night in Bergan County
There are parties everywhere
But we never get invited

And I'm with the one I love (I'm with the one I love)
I'm with the one I love (I'm with the one I love)
But my love goes unrequited
I'm with the one I love
But my love goes unrequited
Ah, ah, ah
Nothing's right
Nothing is what it should be

Shoes are stinky, pay's not great
Skating's free but I can't skate
'Cause my ankles tend to roll
In New Jersey

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh

It's Saturday night in Butt crack township
On a road without a sign
In a town where there's not much in
Forty minutes east of hope
Forty miles from Metuchen

I'm with the one I love

It's Saturday night and I'm the new girl
So I get to start from scratch
Next to Lodi, this is dreamy
Sure tonight I'm getting looks
But tomorrow they might see me
(I'm always getting looks)
They never really see me

In New Jersey
In New Jersey
In New Jersey
Nothing's right
Nothing is what it should be

I'm too awkward
I'm too bright
I'm too anxious
I'm too polite
We're too chipper, we're too loud
We don't blend into a crowd
We're too weird in every way

I think Springsteen's just okay

Which is not a thing to think in New Jersey
At least we have the rink in New Jersey
Ah-ah
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Oh
