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

<instrumental with the sound of a roller coaster and the screams of its riders>

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
