text: Sandy, the fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight
  Forcing a light into all those stony faces left stranded on this warm July
  Down in the town, the Circuits 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
  Chasing all them silly New York virgins by the score
  And Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
  This pier lights our carnival life forever
  Oh, love me tonight, for I may never see you again
  Hey, Sandy girl
  My, my, baby
  Now, the greasers, ah, they tramp the streets
  Or get busted for sleeping 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 hanging in them dusty arcades, banging them pleasure machines
  Chasing the factory girls underneath the boardwalk
  Where they all 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 they kept me spinning, babe, didnt think Id ever get off
  Oh, Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
  This pier lights our carnival life on the water
  Running, laughing neath the boardwalk
  Ah, with the boss daughter
  I remember, Sandy, girl
  Na, na, na, na, na, baby
  Sandy, that waitress I was seeing lost her desire for me
  I spoke with her last night, she said she wont set herself on fire for me anymore
  She worked that joint under the boardwalk
  She was always the girl you saw bopping down the beach with the radio
  The kids say last night she was dressed like a star
  In one of them cheap little seaside bars
  And I saw her parked with 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 boardwalk lifes through, babe
  You ought to quit this scene, too
  Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
  This pier lights our carnival life forever
  Oh, love me tonight and I promise Ill love you forever
  Oh, I mean it, Sandy, girl
  My, my, my, my, my baby
  Yeah, I promise, Sandy, girl
  Sha, la, la, la, la, baby
