Well, that’s seredipity or serendipi-pee for you
Autobiographical song based on a drive this morning and another one in the 1980s.
Both lasted lots longer than five minutes but who’s counting.

No Rest Stops in New Jersey
Ain’t no rest stops in New Jersey.
New Jersey’s all go go go
Pit stops are so Pennsylvania
Shoulda stopped back there in PA if you really gotta go
There’s no rest stops in New Jersey
Not on eighty or one or nine
I know your worried ‘bout bladder
I’m sure glad it idn’t mine
But, Honey, look here on the bright side
We are making real good time
Ain’t no rest stops in New Jersey.
New Jersey’s all go go go
Pit stops are so Pennsylvania
Gotta stop in PA when you gotta go
There’s no rest stops in New Jersey
So google something else instead
There’s no place for you to pee here
Go on get it through your head
Ain’t no rest stops in New Jersey.
New Jersey’s all go go go
Pit stops are so Pennsylvania
Gotta stop in PA when you gotta go
Unless we’re stopping on that shoulder
It’s looking like this time you’re stuck
Next time we’ll plan better
But today you’re outta luck
Ain’t no rest stops in New Jersey.
New Jersey is just go go go
Pit stops are so Pennsylvania
Gotta stop in PA when you gotta go
There’s no rest for the weary
And no rest stops in this state
Ain’t no rest stops in New Jersey
New Jersey’s nothing but go, go, go
Next time stop in PA
Cause Babe, you really gotta go

I know the tune for this (in my imagination). Hilarious and true to life lyric. I’ve been there. — Not NJ, more like the M62 in Yorkshire, but it’s all the same max discomfort. I’d love to musify this in the off season, Nancy.

I am imagining an early Bruce Springsteen song here. Like one of the slower tracks on The East Street Shuffle album.

"serendipi-pee" Bwahahahahaha!
I like how it starts as a road song, like a "gotta skip town now" song, but it becomes clear it's a driver and a rider in two very different head spaces.
@unpronounceable Feb 2022
Hehe. I have stories about NJ/PA rest stops. Hoo boy. Thanks for sharing this and skirmishing.
@angelinapowersuit Feb 2022
Gosh I really enjoy these lyrics, so fun, and great sense of humor. And I’m from NYC, so I get it :-). I was actually creating a melody in my head as I read them, this should be an easy one for whomever chooses to write it.
@sunfire Feb 2022
Original theme. Very clever idea for a song. Fun and enjoyable to read.
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
I like it (since I'm not in it). Short repetitive stanzas keep it moving. I can picture the scenery going by. Good write.
@tjeff Feb 2022
Super title!! Clever lyric with lots of humor, excellent skirmish. This has tons of potential for a song! Love the tongue-in-cheek NJ/PA contrasting lines.

Ah well. Out with the funnel and the coke bottle. or the towel! Reminds me of years sailing a small open boat in very public places and needing to plan the course with a view to loo availability.
@kristi Feb 2022
HA! This is great fun! "Pit stops are so Pennsylvania". Very clever write! Great flow, great humor....I enjoyed that!
