The Board Walk, Atlantic City,
The passing of Ollie and Joe,
Hippity Hoppity, Hoppity Hippity,
Down the Walk they go.
Why does Josie hobble,
Why does she wobble so?
Hoppity Hippity, Hippity Hoppity,
Down the Walk they go.
The Board Walk has no feeling,
The ocean does not know,
Hippity Hoppity, Hoppity Hippity,
Down the Walk they go.
Why is Josie weeping,
Why such tragic woe?
If you'd know the reason—
'Tis a corn on Josie's toe.
