ArtistSandy, 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 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 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 Didn't think I'd ever get off You might also like Tough 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 won't 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 life's 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 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
A vintage comic-style illustration depicts a romantic couple embracing on a boardwalk at night amidst an amusement park, with fireworks and the aurora borealis lighting the sky. The man, with dark wavy hair and a black leather jacket, gazes down at the woman, who has blonde curly hair and wears a white strapless top, looking up at him. She has her arm around his neck, and he holds her waist. In the background, a sign for "Little Eden The World Famous Playground" is visible, along with an arcade called "Pinball Way Wizard's Arcade." Fireworks explode in the dark sky, and the vibrant green and purple hues of the aurora borealis stretch across the horizon above a "Casino" building. Other people are dispersed on the boardwalk, and a lamppost casts light on a sign that reads "TONIGHT AURORA OVER LITTLE EDEN." A trash can with "MADAME MARIE FORTUNES BUSTED BY THE COPS!" is in the foreground to the left. A sign for "TILT-A-WHIRL SOUTH BEACH DRAG RIDE IT!" stands to the right by the pier railing, where other men are standing near the water.
