Take me to Coney Island Where the air will clear my mind Where nobody can hurt me and nobody can push me aside Take me on the roller-coaster Show me the mermaid parade I'll buy the t-shirts with the fortune we won on arcades I'm not a gambling man but I'll win if I can I'll take every chance I can get with you I would take you down to the boardwalk Where I'd hold your hand all the way We'd sit by the ocean and wash all our troubles away If you take me to the circus Where I wouldn't be out of place I could feel like myself despite all the pain on my face I'm not a gambling man but I'll win if I can I'll take every chance I can get with you I refuse to go home by myself, all alone Nobody else understands but you But you, but you I'm not a gambling man but I lose when I am I'll take every chance I can get with you I refuse to go home by myself, all alone Nobody else understands but you Just you Take me to Coney Island Where the air will clear my mind Where nobody can hurt me and nobody can push me aside
