about

This song was inspired by seeing/hearing bands perform at the Sideshows by the Sea at Coney Island in the mid-1990s.

lyrics

Stroll along the boardwalk, or the sideshows by the sea,
Blast off on the turbo jet, it’s cheap but it ain’t free.
Down by the ocean, people all goin’ wild.
It ain’t got class, but it sure got style, Coney Isle.

This ain’t Monte Carlo, and it sure ain’t Saint Moritz,
When you summer in New York City, how can you resist?
Kick off your shoes, honey stay a while.
Your heart and soul will reconcile, Coney Isle.

You can travel the oceans, to the beaches of the world,
But the best bathing beauties are those Brooklyn girls.
Those boardwalk bombshells, will have you in denial.
The may be crass, but they leave you with a smile,
Those conch shell cuties down on Coney Island.

When you need a vacation, but can’t afford to roam.
For the change in your pocket, take a whirl on the Cyclone.
For the time of your life, y’don’t need to go a million miles.
It’s a right good time for every man, woman and child.
So get yourself to Coney Island.
