Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight   Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded on this Fourth of July   Down in town the circuit's full with switchblade lovers so fast so shiny so sharp   And 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 along the shore   Chasin' all them silly New York girls      Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us   The pier lights our carnival life forever   Love me tonight for I may never see you again   Hey Sandy girl      Now the greasers they tramp the streets or get busted for trying to sleep on the beach all night   Them boys in their spiked 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 promise 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 that Joey kept me spinnin' I didn't think I'd ever get off      Oh Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us   The pier lights our carnival life on the water   Runnin' down the beach at night with my boss's daughter   Well he ain't my boss no more Sandy      Sandy, the angels have lost our desire for us   I spoke to 'em just last night and they said they won't set themselves on fire for us anymore   Every summer when the weather gets hot they ride that road down from heaven on their Harleys they come and they go   And you can see 'em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore bars parked making love with their babies out on the Kokomo   Well the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do   This boardwalk life for me is through   You know you ought to quit this scene too      Sandy the aurora's rising behind us, the pier lights our carnival life forever   Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever
