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 Harley's 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

Well 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
