THE COOL BREEZE
Lyrics by Richard David Pasquarella © 2026 All Rights Reserved

[Chorus]
Have you ever felt the cool breeze?
I think I’ve always known that she’s
The one for me
Ortley
[Verse 1]
Do you ever dream of the sun?
The beach on a rerun?
The Sunny Hunny by the Sea,
run by a true Ortley family.
With Elmo waving generously,
pancakes as long as the eye can see.
God bless you, Bernie
[Chorus]
Have you ever felt the cool breeze,
The one that brings you peace?
I think I’ve always known that she’s
The one for me
Have you ever felt the cool breeze,
The one that brings us peace?
To all our families
In Ortley
In Ortley
[Verse 2]
Do you remember Rockafellas
and its Chilean sea bass attraction?
How about Mr. Mick and his class action?
The next stop is Pop’s Coffee Shop and beach supplies
Padi’s Pedals is Power,
If you need a ride at any hour
Anneology and Crivelli,
they’ll build you a boutique if you’re lucky
and across the boards is Kohr’s,
maybe some ice cream-flavored s’mores
What, you ain’t got no more s’mores?
Okay, give me that coffee flavor
and lock the doors
and when it’s all gone,
I’ll be out the door
Right next door
To get that lobster roll that we adore
Now don’t look at the clock
When you’re at the Lobster Dock
Just tell them, “Keep ’em coming!”
Keep the water coming too,
And a stack of napkins
Maybe a bib or two for the childrens
Now, after lobster dreams and the ice creams
It’s time for Parmesan dreams
Over at Gigi’s
With those pizza, pasta, and steak themes
Taking your taste buds to extremes!
Now save room for Dune coastal cuisine,
pan-seared branzino
White wine, capers, olives, and cherry tomatoes
And if you’re not full yet, just walk a few steps
to Sophie G’s Bakery
Maybe some crumb cake or zeppole’s
Spooky Campfire Lattes at Pressed NJ
A Blueberry Tide or a Coconut Wave
Call Mills Heating and Air Conditioning
During the summer heat wave
The Loyal Order of Moose
Jerry’s Market has the best produce
Then there’s Mia’s Pizza & Café, the best Margherita pizza on the bay
And the ACME
right across the way
next to the liquor store
and Number One Chinese take away
Don’t forget Golden Gate Express
Maybe they’re the best
They’ve got that Thai cuisine too,
and that bubble tea bar just for you
Do you like your bagels baked?
Try Bakin’ Bagels and a raspberry crumb cake
Artistic Pavers and Landscape
will make your home look like a dreamscape
And speaking of homes and real estate contacts
Go see Steve at Birchler Realtors, RE/MAX at Barnegat Bay!
He’ll do you right and find you that beach getaway
And if all the homes are booked or represented
He’ll send you up to Schlosser to get it rented
Up in Lavallette Is where they’re documented
Did I forget Ocean, Plumbing and Heating?
Toilet breaks, they’ll come running
Ortley Seafood Market has live lobsters
Spirits Unlimited has unlimited liquors and mobsters
I’m sorry, my bad, It’s WPI with the mobster
Sold his lot for a cool five mil, then clipped Spider
You can buy a lot of shine boxes with that kind of cheddar
Speaking of cash and currency,
If you need to store your money, go to TD
Oh my gosh, I almost forgot
the Starlight Motel & Luxury Suites
Dakan Homes builds homes with en-suites
and they’re dagg-on sweet
Are you looking for modular?
Doesn’t really matter
Call VWV
About the matter
What you see
Is what you get
Because it’s all good, you see,
In this town of Ortley
[Chorus]
Have you ever felt the cool breeze?
I think I’ve always known that she’s
The one for me
Have you ever felt the cool breeze,
The one that brings us peace?
To all our families
In Ortley
[Outro]
Visit Bayside Park,
an illuminated basketball court,
two fenced tennis courts,
two handball courts, and a children's playground.
Restrooms, Pavilion, picnic areas,
Scenic views and access to Barnegat Bay.
Experience the essence of Japan
At Wasabi
Take a dip in one of Heat Wave Pools, pools
Maybe a hot tub with whirlpools and sodium chloride molecules
Ortley
The McDonalds is still empty
St Elizabeth’s Chapel by the Sea
Tie up at Docksider Marina, catch a sunset like you’ve never seen-a.
(Laughs)
At Vito's Sandwiches & Specialties,
They got a passion for family recipes.
And on the Deck in Ortley, it's like you’re at a home style dinner
with the family
Please pass the Parmigiano. And button that top button.
(Laughs)
One final wave and one last call
for our beloved Surf Club in Ortley,
living on forever in our hearts and memory
(claps/cheers)
Joey Barcellona, affectionately known as “Joey Harrison,”
was the founder and longtime operator of Joey Harrison’s Surf Club,
the legendary oceanfront nightclub and beach club in Ortley Beach New Jersey.
God bless you Mr. Barcellona
