Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Oh, love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever The kids say last night she was dressed like a starĪnd I saw her parked with lover boy out on the Kokomoĭid you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marieįor me this boardwalk life is through, babe She was always the girl you saw boppin' down the beach with the radio She worked that joint under the boardwalk She said she won't set herself on fire for me anymore Sandy that waitress I was seeing lost her desire for me I remember Sandy girl, na, na, na, na, na baby Laughin' 'neath the boardwalk, ah, with the boss's daughter This pier lights our carnival life on the water

I got on it last night and my shirt got caughtĪnd they kept me spinnin' I didn't think I'd ever get off Where they all promise to unsnap their jeansĪnd you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag Them boys in their high heels ah Sandy their skins are so whiteĪnd me I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty arcadesĬhasin' the factory girls underneath the boardwalk Or get busted for sleeping on the beach all night Now the greasers, ah they tramp the streets Oh love me tonight for I may never see you again This pier lights our carnival life forever With their shirts open like Latin lovers on the shoreĬhasin' all them silly New York virgins by the scoreĪnd Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over little Eden tonightįorcin' a light into all those stony faces left stranded on this fourth of Julyĭown in town the circuit's full of switchblade lovers so fast, so shiny, so sharpĪs the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark
