 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
