I was a loner and I was seventeen When I saw her and she blew my mind I told her "Honey, you are the girl of my dreams." When she poured me a whiskey and lime "I'm the king of Coney Island, won't you be my queen?" I said and asked if she could spare some time And she said "Sonny, you're really nice and sweet, Just draw a number and cue up in the line." She's an angel that swears like a sailor She's the beat in the heart of my town She's a trustworthy friend and a traitor She's a coat hanger when I feel like hangin' around She's all I ask for, she's all I need She picks me up, when I'm face down in the street She's everybody's darling but one hell of a lady to me
