[Verse 1]
And she promised to meet me when the clock struck 24
At the stockyard, was a mile-and-a-half away
She had pig nose and pig toes and many things a-more
She's my freckle-faced, consumptive Sarah Jane
[Verse 2]
Oh she's my lady, she's so lazy
She's cross-eyed, she's crazy
She's bandy-legged, pigeon-toed
[?]
You say her breath is sweet, but I'd rather smell her feet
She's my freckle-faced, consumptive Sarah Jane
[Chorus]
Goodbye, my Coney Island baby
And then I never 'spect to see you anymore
Wait while the ship comes sailing over
Back to my Coney Island shore
Farewell, I miss you and I grieve you
I never 'spect to see you anymore
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye forevermore
Goodbye my Coney Isl—
I say my Coney Isl—
I mean my Coney Island baby
I mean my Coney Island babe
[Chorus]
Goodbye, my Coney Island baby
I never 'spect to see you anymore
Wait while the ship comes sailing over
Back to my Coney Island shore
Farewell, I miss you and I grieve you
I never 'spect to see you anymore
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye forevermore
Goodbye my Coney Isl—
I say my Coney Isl—
I mean my Coney Island baby
I mean my Coney Island babe
