Coney Island Baby

Lyrics:

• You know, man, when I was a young man in high school
• You believe in or not, that I wanted to play football for the coach
• All those older guys, they said he was mean and cruel
• But you know, I wanted to play football, for the coach
• They said I was to little too light weight to play line-back
• So I say I'm playing right-in
• Wanted to play football for the coach
• Cause, you know some day, man, you gotta stand up straight
• Unless you're gonna fall
• Then you're gonna die
• And the straightest dude I ever knew
• Was standing right for me, all the time
• So I had to play football for the coach
• And I wanted to play football for the coach
• When you're all alone and lonely in your midnight hour
• And you find that your soul, it has been up for sale


• And you getting to think about, all the things you done
• And you getting to hate just about everything


• But remember the princess who lived on the hill
• Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong
• And right now she just might come shining through
• and the glory of love, glory of love
• Glory of love, just might come through


• And all your two-bit friends have gone and ripped you off
• They're talking behind your back saying, man
• you are never going to be a human being
• And you start thinking again
• About all those things that you've done
• And who it was and who it was
• And all the different things you made every different scene


• Ah, but remember that the city is a funny place
• Something like a circus or a sewer
• And just remember, different people have peculiar tastes
• And the Glory of love, the glory of love
• The glory of love, might see you through
• Yeah, but now, now
• Glory of love, the glory of love
• The glory of love, might see you through
• Glory of love, ah, huh, huh, the glory of love
• Glory of love, glory of love
• Glory of love, now, glory of love, now
• Glory of love, now, now, now, glory of love
• Glory of love, give it to me now, glory of love see you through
• Oh, my Coney Island baby, now
• (I'm a Coney Island baby, now)
• I'd like to send this one out for Lou and Rachel
• And the Lord appeared and he has one made of two
• Coney Island baby
• Man, I swear, I'd give the whole thing up for you
