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.

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 detailed, colorful comic book page depicts a vibrant carnival scene at night, featuring a beach, a pier, and fireworks exploding in the sky.

Behind them, a group of "greasers" in leather jackets and slicked-back hair are gathered around a bonfire on the sandy beach. Some are sitting or lying down as if sleeping.
To the left, a police car with flashing red and blue lights is parked near a booth with a sign that reads "MADAME MARIE'S FORTUNES." A crowd of people is visible on the beach, with some figures dancing. A waitress in a black and white uniform is shown walking with a radio.
The background is dominated by a long pier extending over the ocean. The underside of the pier is illuminated by strings of fairy lights and multi-colored pennant banners. An amusement park ride, a "TILT-A-WHIRL," is visible on the pier with its neon sign glowing blue. Fireworks are
