Coney Island Baby Lyrics

Song Text:


You know, man, when I was a young man in high schoolyou believe in or not I
wanted to play football for the coachAnd all those older guysthey said
he was mean and cruel, but you knowwanted to play football for the
coachThey said I was to little too light weight to play line-backerso I
say I'm playing right-endwanted to play football for the coach'Cause,
you know some day, manyou gotta stand up straight unless you're gonna
fallthen you're gone to dieAnd the straightest dudeI ever knew was
standing right for me all the timeSo I had to play football for the
coachand I wanted to play football for the coachWhen you're all
alone and lonelyin your midnight hourAnd you find that your soulit's
been up for saleAnd you begin to think 'boutall the things that
you've doneAnd you begin to hatejust 'bout everythingBut
remember the princess who lived on the hillWho loved you even though she
knew you was wrongAnd right now she just might come shining throughand
the -- Glory of love, glory of loveglory of love, just might come
throughAnd all your two-bit friendshave gone and ripped you
offThey're talking behind your back saying, manyou're never going to be
no human beingAnd you start thinking again'bout all those things that
you've doneAnd who it was and what it wasand all the different things
you made every different sceneAhhh, but remember that the city is a
funny placeSomething like a circus or a sewerAnd just remember different
people have peculiar tastesand the -- Glory of love, the glory of
lovethe glory of love, might see you throughyeah, but now, nowGlory
of love, the glory of lovethe glory of love, might see you throughGlory
of love, ah, huh, huh, the glory of loveGlory of love, glory of
loveGlory of love, now, glory of love, nowGlory of love, now, now, now,
glory of loveGlory of love, give it to me now, glory of love see you
throughOh, my Coney Island baby, now(I'm a Coney Island baby,
now)I'd like to send this one out for Lou and Racheland all the kids and
P.S. 192Coney Island babyMan, I'd swear, I'd give the whole thing up for
you
