Last night I took a walk after dark
At swinging 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 the shoot-the-chute
The girl I sat beside was awful cute
And when we stopped, she was holding hands with me
My heart was flying up a-like a rocket ship
Down a-like a roller coaster
Fast a-like a loop-the-loop
And around a-like a merry-go-round

We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rocking 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've stopped at the top of the 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 rocking 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've stopped at the top of the Ferris Wheel
When I fell in love, down at Palisades Park
Down at Palisades Park
You know, at Palisades Park, down at Palisades Park
