Coney Island Baby
Every night she comes
To take me out to dreamland
When I'm with her, I'm the richest
Man in the town
She's a rose, she's the pearl
She's the spin on my world
All the stars make their wishes on her eyes
She's my Coney Island Baby
She's my Coney Island Girl
She's a princess in a red dress
She's the moon in the mist to me
She's my Coney Island Baby
She's my Coney Island Girl

This is an example of Tom Waits' way with words. I hope everyone is enjoying the songs from him I've added to this site.
ReplyDeleteI think that that is one of my favorite song that I have heard him do. He has some of the most thought and feeling provoking lyrics ever I think. I love songs that make you think and feel things. Now a lot of songs on the radio are so empty. I am glad that you did this honey thanks:)
