4th OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY) from The Wild...
INTRO:
/B
Sandy, fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight
Forcing the 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
Chasing all them silly New York virgins by the score
CHORUS 1:
San...dy 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 them 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, didn't think I'd ever get off
CHORUS 2:
Oh, San...dy the aurora is rising behind us
This pier lights our carnival life on the water
Running, laughing 'neath the boardwalk, oh, with the boss' daughter
I remember Sandy girl,
Na na na na na Baby
/B
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 work 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
I saw her parked with lover boy out on the Kokomo
D'ya hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie
For telling fortunes better than they do
For me this boardwalk life's through, baby
You ought to quit this scene too
CHORUS 3:
San...dy the aurora is rising behind us
This 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 my my my baby
Yeah I promise Sandy girl
Sha la la la la baby
