Palisades Park
Beach Boys · Other Songs - Beach Boys
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Last night I took a walk in the dark
A steamin' place called Palisades Park
Turned around to see what I could see
That's where the girls are
I took a ride on a shoopby shoo
The girl I sat beside was awful cool
And when we start I gave that girl a hug
My heart was flyin'
Up like a rocket ship
Down like a roller coaster
Left like a loopdy 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 we we quit I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love
You never know how great a kiss can be
Until you stop at the bottom of a ferris wheel
In the tunnel of love down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Yeah
Oh my God
Those coconuts are bad in the ass damn (???)
We ate and ??? at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And we we quit I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love
You never know how great a kiss can be
Until you stop at the bottom of a ferris wheel
In the tunnel of love down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Last night I took a walk in the dark
A steamin' place called Palisades Park
Turned around to see what I could see
That's where the girls are
I took a ride on a shoopby shoo
The girl I sat beside was awful cool
And when we start I gave that girl a hug
My heart was flyin'
Up like a rocket ship
Down like a roller coaster
Left like a loopdy 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 we we quit I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love
You never know how great a kiss can be
Until you stop at the bottom of a ferris wheel
In the tunnel of love down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Yeah
Oh my God

You never know how great a kiss can be
Until you stop at the bottom of a ferris wheel
In the tunnel of love down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
