All the boys on the avenue
She's already kissed them good-bye
And like sparks from the summer night fire- works
She's all ready to fly
And her body's saying
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
There's a wildness that clings to her hair
And her blue eyes are pulling you near
Oh they shine so bright
Shining like carnival lights
She talked about leaving
But nobody paid her much mind
You see her words made thеm feel like she'd already lеft them behind
Then she took a train that was Baltimore bound
And in the distance
The lights of her town
They faded back into the sound that called across the night
Calling like carnival lights
Then they danced together
The moonlight and the water
The train, the girl, the coast
And you could see her through the window
Spinning and shimmering bright
Just like the carnival lights
All the boys on the avenue
There standing here waitin' for a sign
But now she's down in the Florida winter ground
Throwing kisses to the sky
And her body's saying
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
There's a wildness that clings to her new black hair
And her blue eyes are pulling you near
Oh they shine so bright
Shining like carnival lights
See her shine so bright
Shining like carnival lights
So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
