Palisades Park Lyrics

Last night I took a walk in the dark
To a place called Palisades Park
To have some fun, to see what I could see
That's where the girls are

I took a ride on the Shoopty Shoop
The girl I sat with almost, almost puked
And when it stopped, she was holding hands with me

My arms were flying up, like a rocket ship
Down, like a roller coaster
Fast, like a Loopty Loop
Then around, like a merry-go-round

We even ate at a hot dog stand
Slam danced to a rockin' band
And when she winked, I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love

You'll never know how good it just can feel
'Til it stops at the top of the Ferris Wheel
I fell in love, down at Palisades Park

Last night I took a walk in the dark
To a place called Palisades Park
To have some fun, to see what I could see
That's where the girls are

I took a ride on the Shoopty Shoop
The girl I sat with almost, almost puked
And when it stopped, she was holding hands with me

My arms were flying up, like a rocket ship
Down, like a roller coaster
Fast, like a Loopty Loop
Then around, like a merry-go-round

We even ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And when she winked, I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love

You'll never know how good it just can feel
'Til it stops at the top of the Ferris Wheel
I fell in love, down at Palisades Park

Cover art for Palisades Park lyrics by Ramones

Amazing cover of the Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon pop song. This song proves the Ramones were able to cover anything and make it sound like their own.

Being a 50s song, there's nothing in the lyrics to explain. Meeting a chick at a carnival. What else is there to say?

This song was actually written by Chuck Barris, the creator of the Dating Game and Gong Show.

The lyrics are wrong. Someone seems to think the Ramones tried to put their own twist on this song to make it edgy - this is not the case. Nowhere in the song is there mention of a girl puking. Nor do they say my arms were flying. They do, however, sing about a girl being CUTE, and their heart flying up... Someone should correct this.

Oh yeah, and it's a great cover!

One more thing... they don't say "you'll never know how good it just can feel". That doesn't even make sense! They sing "You never know how good a kiss can feel."
