Coney Island Baby

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

  1. 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.

  2. I 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:)
