Cherry Hill Park Lyrics
Mary Hill used to hang out in Cherry Hill Park
The game she played lasted all day to way after dark
Now all the girls they criticized her but all the guys just idolized her
‘cause Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark, in Cherry Hill Park
Mary Hill loved to ride on the merry-go-round
All the guys got eager eyes watchin’ Mary go ‘round
Now in the daytime Mary Hill was a teaser
Come the night she was such a pleaser
Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark, in Cherry Hill Park
Whoa Mary Hill sure was fun down at Cherry Hill Park
Playin’ games with everyone ‘till way after dark
In Cherry Hill Park, in Cherry Hill Park
And then one day, Mary Hill, she married away
A man with some money said “Come on honey” and she said “Ok”
She went away to play a one man game
And since that day it ain’t been the same
‘cause Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark, in Cherry Hill Park
Whoa Mary Hill sure was fun down at Cherry Hill Park
Playin’ games with everyone ‘till way after dark
In Cherry Hill Park, in Cherry Hill Park
In Cherry Hill Park, in Cherry Hill Park
In Cherry Hill Park, in Cherry Hill Park
The game she played lasted all day to way after dark
Now all the girls they criticized her but all the guys just idolized her
‘cause Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark, in Cherry Hill Park
All the guys got eager eyes watchin’ Mary go ‘round
Now in the daytime Mary Hill was a teaser
Come the night she was such a pleaser
Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark, in Cherry Hill Park
Playin’ games with everyone ‘till way after dark
In Cherry Hill Park, in Cherry Hill Park
A man with some money said “Come on honey” and she said “Ok”
She went away to play a one man game
And since that day it ain’t been the same
‘cause Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark, in Cherry Hill Park
Playin’ games with everyone ‘till way after dark
In Cherry Hill Park, in Cherry Hill Park
In Cherry Hill Park, in Cherry Hill Park
In Cherry Hill Park, in Cherry Hill Park

She wasn't "smart"; she was "fun."
Is being able to make a "lyric correction" post just a way to let me let off steam? It doesn't seem to actually correct anything. I've given it over a year.

@Zorro3 Looks that way sucka. Three years and counting.

Actually, Cherry Hill Park is very close to Pennsylvania, just across the border in New Jersey,
Billy Joe Royal already had the idea and sketch for the song when on tour and was going through Pennsylvania. He saw a sign for the park when he was passing into New Jersey and finalized the lyrics shortly afterwards.
The song has ZERO to do with the frankly ridiculous scenario posted earlier.
And, the lyric is not “goo goo eyes”, it’s “eager eyes”, as stated. Good lord.
Oh, and the lyric is that "all the guy's got goo goo eyes" Scotty
" Mary Hill" was the name of a drag queen and Cherry Hill Park was the commonly known name of a small wooded park in the Cherry Hills area of San Francisco. And the reference about the "merry go round" was about her being the "bukake" center of a circle jerk! Why do you think Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark? LoL Time to learn a bit about the gay culture during the 60's someplace between the closets and the beginning of the pride movement was the big park "bush queens" era! (Not that there aren't still a few "bush queens" in the world! And the actual "Mary Hill" drag queen actually got married to a woman and entered politics The "Man with money" that said "come om n honey" was the Republican political machine in San Francisco at that time.
Another side note: Harvey Milk was the FIRST openly gay man in politics but not the first gay man to severe and was actually killed by another politician that was gay and afraid Harvey was going to "out" him! (But it wasn't "Mary Hill"! Scotty
