Coney Island Brooklyn NY 1940 part 2

more of Coney Island Beach and amusement
park. Documentary filmed in 1940.

The video begins with the song CONEY ISLAND
sung in Yiddish and english by the Barry
Sisters. Then it shows a circus with tigers
and their tamer, then it shows more rides
such as Steeplechase Mountain ride and other
rides. With a musical background.

Clever lyrics to the song CONEY ISLAND WASHBOARD:

From the 1920s song "Coney Island Washboard":
On her Coney Island washboard she would play
You could hear her on the boardwalk ev'ry day
Soap suds all around, bubbles on the ground
Rub-a dub-a dub in her little tub, all the tunes she found, hey!
Thimbles on her fingers make the noise,
She plays the Charleston on the laundry for the boys.
She can rag a tune right through the knees
Of a brand-new pair of BVD's.
Coney Island washboard roundelay.

Your videos and Yiddish certainly bring back the old days. The people on the beach look like moving ants. (LOL) Thanks for your works.

Great to see Coney all lit up at night . That big wooden roller coaster sure put smiles on peoples faces when they got off. Does anyone recall a ride on it? i got to ride the old wooden roller coaster at Santa Cruz board walk. The Big Dipper was alot of fun!
