You looked so very pretty, when we met in Ocean City,
like someone, oh, so easy to adore.
I sang this little ditty, on our way to Ocean City,
heading south along New Jersey's shore.

On the way to Cape May,
I fell in love with you.
On the way to Cape May,
I saw my dreams come true.

I was taken by your smile,
as we drifted by Sea Isle.
My heart was really gone
when we reached Avalon.

On the way to Cape May,
Stone Harbor's skies were blue.
We were naming the day when Wildwood came in view.

If you're gonna be my spouse,
we'd better head for that Court House
On the way to Cape May,
On the way to Cape May.
