Last night I took a walk after dark

A swingin' place called Palisades Park

To have some fun and see what I could see

That's where the girls are



I took a ride on a shoot-the-chute

That girl I sat beside was awful cute

And after while she was holdin' hands with me



My heart was flyin' up like a rocket ship

Down like a roller coaster

Back like a loop-the-loop

And around like a merry-go-round



We ate and ate at a hot dog stand

We danced around to a rockin' band

And when I could, I gave that girl a hug

In the tunnel of love



You'll never know how great a kiss can feel

When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel

When I fell in love down at Palisades Park



We ate and ate at a hot dog stand

We danced around to a rockin' band

And when I could, I gave that girl a hug

In the tunnel of love



You'll never know how great a kiss can feel

When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel

When I fell in love down at Palisades Park



Down at Palisades Park

FADE

You know it's Palisades Park

Down at Palisades Park
