Coney Island Baby

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
