This is from the original sheet music written by Chuck Barris to the song Palisades Park sung by Freddy Cannon
from 1962.
_________________________________________________________
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 the shoot the shoot,
The girl I sat beside was awful cute;
And when we stopped she was holdin' hands with me,
My heart was flyin'
Up a like a rocket ship,
Down a like a roller coaster,
Fast a like a loop the loop
And a round a 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've stopped at the top of the ferris wheel,
Where I fell in love,
Down at Palisades Park.
Down at Palisades Park.
According to the man who wrote this song "it is about going to the fair and checking out the young girls."
