Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden
tonightForcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces left
stranded on this Fourth of JulyDown in town the circuit's
full with switchblade lovers so fast so shiny so sharpAs the
wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past
darkAnd the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open
like Latin lovers along the shoreChasin' all them silly New
York girlsSandy the aurora is risin' behind usThe pier
lights our carnival life foreverLove me tonight for I may never
see you againHey Sandy girlNow the greasers they tramp the
streets or get busted for trying to sleep on the beach all
nightThem boys in their spiked high heels ah Sandy their skins
are so whiteAnd me I just got tired of hangin' in them
dusty arcades bangin' them pleasure machinesChasin'
the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where they promise to
unsnap their jeansAnd you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the
south beach dragI got on it last night and my shirt got
caughtAnd that Joey kept me spinnin' I didn't think
I'd ever get offOh Sandy the aurora is risin' behind
usThe pier lights our carnival life on the waterRunnin'
down the beach at night with my boss's daughterWell he
ain't my boss no more SandySandy the angels have lost their
desire for usI spoke to 'em just last night and they said
they won't set themselves on fire for us anymoreEvery
summer when the weather gets hot they ride that road down from
heaven on their Harleys they come and they goAnd you can see
'em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore
bars parked making love with their babies out on the KokomoWell
the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes
better than they doThis boardwalk life for me is throughYou know
you ought to quit this scene tooSandy the aurora's rising
behind usThe pier lights our carnival life foreverOh love me
tonight and I promise I'll love you forever
