VERSE:
C Dm C Dm
She was working selling peanuts, mmm, down by the shore.
C Dm C Dm
And I was working for peanuts selling ice cream on my brother's stall.
C G Dm G
I tell ya, ice cream sells when it's hot, but it don't sell so well when it's not.
C G Dm G C
And when everybody goes away, how I hoped and wished you would stay, hey hey hey.
C Dm C Dm
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh. [x2]
VERSE:
C Dm C Dm
She's a Coney Island baby, got the prettiest brown eyes I've seen.
C Dm C Dm
She says, "Ooh-ooh, I'm goin steady, but I like it if you know what I mean."
C G Dm G
Did I fall in love? Well, yes I would say, and now I want to see her every day.
C G Dm G C
And when everybody goes away, how I hoped and wished you would stay, hey hey hey.
C Dm C Dm
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh. [x2]
VERSE:
C Dm C Dm
Well I like to go swimming to unwind at the end of the day.
C Dm C Dm
I was drying myself down when my brother had something to say.
C G Dm G
Said, "The girl you like has gone away, she took the last train out today."
C G Dm G C
And when everybody goes away, why did she promise she would stay? Hey hey hey.
C Dm C Dm
Please make it a little bit brighter, I really liked her, now I just don't know what to-
[x9] fades out.
