Analysis of The City By The Sea
Memories keep fading by
but chances are Ill never forget.
Hot-rods, crazy teen girls, and boys
hanging out looking for races, sex,or just to be seen.
And who could forget Madame Marie a spiritual guide
she tells us our future for just a few bucks.
Heading north on Ocean Avenue
cruising past our favorite Bars Goldigger, Mrs Jays,
Stone Poney, all on the same strip.
There were live Bands some made It BIG giving
ASBURY PARK a spot on the map.
Passing right by Pink Flamingo on Kingsley
were sometimes we stopped.
Headded right toward Palace Amusements were Tilly The Clown
face was hanging around waiting for comments from Benny's
who were new in town.
