about

Originally written to serve as a one-minute entr'acte for "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief," a film by Pablo D'Stair (preview available here: vimeo.com/100013623). Ultimately another song worked best for the film, but I felt compelled to develop the short idea into something bigger.

lyrics

[These are the original lyrics to Les Applegate's "Goodbye, My Coney Island Baby," except they've been moved around for the recording.]

We all fall for some girl that dresses neat
some girl that's got big feet
we meet her on the street

Then we'll join the
army of married boobs
up to the altar
just like leading lambs to slaughter

We'll get it good

Bachelor days we'll then recall

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief,
doctor, lawyer, Indian chief,
we are all bound for
matrimony

Goodbye my Coney Island baby
farewell my one true love

I'm gonna go away and leave you
never to see you anymore
I'm gonna sail upon that ferry boat
never to return again
