Verse:

We all fall for some girl who dresses neat, Some girl that's got big feet, We meet her on the street;

Then we'll join the army of married boobs, To the altar, Just like leading lambs to slaughter.

When it's over, oh boy, we get it good. Bach'lor days we then recall.

Rich man, poor man, begger ma, thief, Doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief: We are all bound for Matrimony.

 

Chorus:

Goodbye My Coney Island Baby, Farewell my own true love.

I'm gonna go away and leave you. Never to see you anymore.

I'm goin' to sail upon a ferry boat, Never to return again.

So goodbye, farewell, so long for ever,

Goodbye My Coney Isle, Goodbye My Coney Isle,

Goodbye My Coney Island Babe.
