Biografia:
The Knickerbockers foram um grupo de pop rock mais relembrados pelo seu sucesso de 1965, "Lies". A banda foi formada em 1962 em Bergenfield, New Jersey, pelos irmão Beau Charles (Guitarras e Vocais) e John Charles (Baixo e Vocais). Em 1964, eles encontraram Buddy Randell (Vocais e Sax). Buddy, anteriormente, tocou nas bandas Rockin' Saints e os The Royal Teens, que fizeram sucesso com a música "Short Shorts", em 1958. Eles tiraram o nome da banda da estrada "Knickerbocker Road" que passava próxima a sua cidade natal.

Verse:
G Em
There's a groovy little place just a piece down the road called Jerk Town
G Em
Oh, they say it's even better than a hot-rod city on a surf town
Pre-Chorus:
C D
With a four-piece band that's outta sight
C D
Blowin' rock 'n roll music 'till the broad daylight
G N.C. D7
Where the "in" crowd goes out
G
In Jerk Town
Chorus:
Em G
So come on with me if you wanna jerk
Em A7 D7
Yeah, come on with me so I can watch you work
G Em
If you wanna forget all your troubles you don't have to go downtown
G Em
Just make sure you know you know the new dance that's a-been a-goin' 'round town
C D
Baby take my hand and we'll be on our way
C D
Gonna jerk and shout until the break of day
G N.C. D7
To the best sound around
G
In Jerk Town
So come on with me if you wanna jerk
Oh, come on with me, so I can watch you work
If you wanna forget all your troubles you don't have to go downtown
Just make sure you know the new dance that's been a-goin' 'round town
With a four-piece band that's outta sight
Blowin' rock n' roll music 'till the broad daylight
Where the "in" crowd goes out
In Jerk Town
Jerk Town
Jerk Town
