Sandy, the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden
tonight
Forcin' a light into all those stony faces left
stranded on this warm July
Down in town the circuit's full of switchblade lovers,
so fast, so shiny, so sharp
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the
boardwalk way past dark
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts
open like Latin lovers on the shore
Chasin' all them silly New York virgins by the score
Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh, love me tonight, for I may never see you again
Hey, Sandy girl... my baby
Now the greasers, they tramp the streets or get busted
for sleepin' on the beach all night
Them boys in their high heels, ah Sandy, their skins
are so white
And me, I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty
arcades, bangin' them pleasure machines
Chasin' the factory girls underneath the boardwalk,
where they all promised to unsnap their jeans
And you know that Tilt-a-Whirl down on the south beach
drag? I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
And it kept me spinnin', they didn't think I'd ever
get off
Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life on the water
Runnin', laughin' underneath the boardwalk with the
boss's daughter
I remember, Sandy girl... my baby
Sandy, the waitress I was seein' 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 boppin' down the beach with the radio
Kids say last night she was dressed like a star in one
of the cheap little seaside bars, and I saw her parked with her lover boy out
on the Kokomo
Did you hear, the cops finally busted Madame Marie for
tellin' fortunes better than they do?
For me this carnival life's through-- you ought to
quit this scene too
Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh, love me tonight and I promise I'll love you
forever
Oh, I mean it, Sandy girl
