And, uh, anyways, let's see what else I-I, uh

It was Coney Island

They called Coney Island the playground of the world

There was no place like it in the whole world

Like Coney Island, when I was a youngster

No place in the world like it, it was so fabulous

Now it's shrunk down to almost nothing, you see

And I still remember in my mind how things used to be

And, you know, I feel very bad

But people from all over the world came here

From all over the world

It was the playground

They called it the playground of the world over here

Anyways, uh, you see, I, uh, you know

I even got, when I was, uh, when I was very small

I even got lost at Coney Island, but they found me

On the, on, on the beach

And we used to sleep on the beach here, sleep overnight

They, uh, they don't do that anymore

Things changed, you see

They don't sleep anymore on the beach
