ON A SUNDAY AT CONEY ISLAND
(Cross / Curtis)

Gordon MacRae - 1950


The sun has scattered the clouds from sight
And the air is crystal clear
The weather is grand for the kids on the sand
Or the crowd that is talking of walking the pier

On a Sunday at Coney Isle, Coney Island in June
They're goin' and comin' and slummin' and hummin'
Their favourite summery tune
Each guy and his chick looking slick as a trick
As they pose for a picture cartoon
And they'll amble, wile a mile for the whole afternoon
Recalling on Monday the fun on a Sunday
At Coney Island in June

There's Cohens and Kellys full of hot dogs and beer
With a mustard and custard and corn off the ear
(Male Chorus: We'll ring the bell just to prove that we're strong)
(Female Chorus: And we will be near ya to cheer you along)
Look, there's the roller coaster
Watch how it zips and it dips and it dives
Watch how the people race over to steeplechase
Planning to have the time of their lives

On a Sunday at Coney Isle, Coney Island in June
They're goin' and comin' and slummin' and hummin'
Their favourite summery tune
Each guy and his chick looking slick as a trick
As they pose for a picture cartoon
And they'll amble, wile a mile for the whole afternoon
Recalling on Monday the fun on a Sunday
At Coney Island
(Female Chorus: At Coney Island)
At Coney Island in June
