Aerosmith - Coney Island Whitefish Boy Lyrics
Lyrics Translation
Lyrically, it uses the slang term "Coney Island Whitefish" (a euphemism for discarded condoms) as a metaphor for recklessness, indulgence, and the rougher sides of life on the streets. The song’s raw energy, driving beat, and Tyler’s snarling vocals give it a tough, bluesy feel, reminiscent of Aerosmith’s early garage-rock influences. "Coney Island Whitefish Boy" is a lesser-known but hard-hitting deep cut that showcases the band's ability to blend humor, grit, and relentless rock energy.
Song lyrics
Flatbush boy cruising Sheepshead Bay
His boardwalk mama just a sniff away
Underground DMT, riding thunder train
The Coney Island white fish boy is on the run again
Ooh, running with the pack
Ooh, and never looking back
Ooh, know's just where he's been
That Coney Island white fish boy's
Been there and back again
16 years with his boardwalk queen
And at steeplechase, she used to wet his dreams
She combs her hair, that flaming jewel
Streaked with Clorox bleach
Coney getting down and dirty
Snorting up the beach
And she'd be screaming (Coney)
And she'd be dreaming (Coney)
Go get them Coney
(Coney) bone to bone screaming
(Coney) she be screaming (Coney)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
In town
Get back in town
Get back, a get down
Get back in town
Coney!
She'd be screaming (Coney)
Best believe it (Coney)
