intro and backing music throughout includes a calliope



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 pa
