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 when we stopped, she was holdin' hands with me.

My heart was flyin' up like a rocket ship.
Down like a roller coaster.
Back like a loop-de-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 sound of roller coaster and screams.

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 I fell in love down at Palisades Park.

Down at Palisades Park.
Fade.
You know it's Palisades Park.
Down at Palisades Park.
