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, my my baby   Yeah, I promise Sandy girl, sha-la baby
