Coney Island Baby (Song)

Coney Island Baby
Let’s take the subway 
Cool off at a Brooklyn beach
On this dreamy steamy day

Coney Island Baby
Glamorous, amorous and fair
Rising from the platinum waves
Aphrodite with windswept hair

Shells on the shore
Sand on our toes
Seahorses dart
Love blooms in our anemone hearts

Coney Island Baby
Let’s go to the Penny Arcade 
Stroll the boardwalk, eat ice cream
For you and me this was made

Coney Island Baby
Ride the Ferris Wheel with me
Up in the air, round and round
With the seagulls, wild and free

Laughing with glee
At those below
We’ll fly so high
Touching clouds in the sky

Coney Island Baby
Hear the carousel calliope sound?
Put your arms around me now
Let’s kiss as the red hot sun goes down

I wish we had audio, and so agree with Daver about wanting to hear it. Love and peace

Where the hell is everybody, Corinne? This is a treat. I'd like to hear the music. I won a 7th place with "Sunken Cathedral" now here it is again. Personally I think the poem is stodgy, but what the hell. I'm gonna read a lot more of your stuff 'cause I love it. Love, daver
