Sandy, fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight
ย
Forcing a light on all those stone down faces
Left stranded on this 4th of July
Downtown the circuit's full with switchblade lovers
So fast, so shiny and sharp
And the Wizards play down on Pinball Way
On the boardwalk way past dark
And the girls from the casino dance with their shirts open
Like Latin lovers along the shore
Chasing all them silly New York girls
ย
Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
ย
The pier lights are carnival lights forever
Love me tonight for I may never see you again
Hey, Sandy girl
ย
The greasers, they tramp the streets or get busted
For trying to sleep on the beach all night
And the boys in their spiked high heels
Ah Sandy, their skins are so white
Me, I just got tired of hanging in them dusty arcades
Banging them pleasure machines
And chasing the factory girls underneath the boardwalk
Where they all promise to unsnap their jeans
You know that tilt-a-whirl way down on the southeast track
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
That joy kept me spinning
Didn't think I'd ever get off
Oh Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
The pier lights are carnival lights on the water
Running down the boardwalk with my old boss's daughter
I remember, Sandy girl
ย
Sandy, that waitress I was seeing
She lost her desire for me
I spoke with her last night
She said she won't set herself on fire for me anymore
She worked that joint under the boardwalk
She was always the girl you saw
Bobbing down the beach with that radio
The kids say last night she was dressed like a star
In one of them cheap little seashore bars
And parked with her baby out on the cocoa moor
Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie
For telling fortunes better than they did?
For me this boardwalk life's through
You know you ought to quit this scene too
Oh Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
The pier lights are carnival lights forever
Love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever
Hey, Sandy girl
