Lyrics to Fallon/Springsteen "Gov. Chris Christie Traffic Jam"Jimmy:
In day the day we sweated out on the streets / Stuck in traffic on the GWB
They shut down the toll booths of glory / 'Cause we didn't endorse Christie
Sprung from cages on highway 9
We got three lanes closed / So Jersey get your ass in a line
Oh baby / This Bridgegate was just payback / It's a bitch slap, to the state Democrats
We gotta get out while we can
We're stuck in Governor Chris Christie's Fort Lee, New Jersey traffic jam
Bruce:
Governor let me in / I wanna to be your friend / There'll be no partisan divisions
Let me wrap my legs 'round your mighty rims / And relieve your stressful condition
You have Wall Street masters stuck check-to-check with blue collar truckers
And man I really gotta take a leak / But I can't
I'm stuck in Governor Chris Christie's Fort Lee, New Jersey traffic jam
[Guitar instrumental]
One, Two, Three, Four
Jimmy:
The highway's jammed with pissed off drivers with no place left to go
And the press conference went on and on
Bruce:
It was longer than one of own damn shows
Jimmy:
Someday Governor, I don't know when
This will all end, but 'til then
Together:
You're killin' the workin' man
Who's stuck in the Governor Chris Christie Fort Lee, New Jersey traffic jam
Who whoa whoa!
Who whoa whoa!
Bruce:
I gotta to take a leak / I really gotta take a leak
Together:
Down in Jersey Land
