My Coney Island Baby
Hedonistic summer dreams
within this sandscape world
Crazy Feeling's rising high
and tricks with Charley's Girl
Parasols that hide our shame
for She’s My Best Friend’s pearl
sequinned lace, her painted face
and Kicks that made us whirl
His Gift was she or maybe me
Oooohhh Baby take this pain
in summers heat where lovers meet
they play their heady games
Nobodys Business on this beach
androgynous dreams were maybe
A fluttered fan, a soft held hand
my Coney Island Baby…….
