I feel I'm burnin' up with fever
The fire's feelin' really good tonight, but it's all right
'Cuz I'm gonna see Sahara Jack and Suntan Sally
Somebody tells me even Tommy's comin' down tonight
If Gina says it's all right
I'm gonna see those senoritas lyin' under the sun
Yeah, they're greasin' it up with their stereos on
You know I wanna be their blanket, gonna tell every girl
Hey baby, you're the one
Whoa, tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blastin' in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket and you know I just got paid
And I'm feelin' fine, it's 99 in the shade, whoa yeah
When the sun goes down, that's when the street heats up
Senorita, margarita, fills your empty cup tonight
She makes you feel so right
A good time here doesn't cost much money
Just a little sweet talkin', gets the pretty native honey
And you're set for life or one hell of a night
I can see those sons of beaches out there livin' it up
Yeah, the surf and the sand, man, our life ain't so tough

So get me in the action, gotta tell every girl she's the one
Whoa, tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blastin' in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket and you know I just got paid
And I'm feelin' fine, it's 99 in the shade, oh
I'm feelin' fine, it's 99 in the shade
Yeah, I can almost taste it [Incomprehensible]
99, 99, 99, 99 in the shade
99, 99, 99 in the shade
Whoa, tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio cranked in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket, you know I just got paid
And I'm feelin' fine, it's 99 in the shade
And though you know I'm feelin' fine, it's 99 in the shade
I wanna get a little lucky, I want to get in the sun
I, I, I'm goona find a senorita, I'm gonna tell everyone
I'm feelin' good, I'm on my way
Catching the summer time and I just got paid
It's 99 in the shade, I'm on my way, so come on

Sorry, I got this mixed up with "Love for sale" that is the song that says it was performed in the swamps of New Jersey. Sorry! Don't know what I was thinking. Love for sale is much more impromtu than this song, but Jon does do his Elvis impression on 99 in the Shade, as well as referring to our favorite Bon Jovi couple, Tommy and Gina!

Inside the tape, yes tape case it stated: "Performed in the swamps of New Jersey" LOL This song is funny and settles the video statement Ritchie made when he said, "99 in the shade, Elvis is alive!" Because Jon does a little Elvis impression during this song. No one will ever convince me that the guys weren't a bit "high" when they sung this that night! LOL
