Amusement Parks USA (alternate lyrics) (2nd vocal overdub) Songtext
von The Beach Boys

Let′s take your car into amusement parks USA

At Palisades in Salisbury Parks, the rolly coasters are flyin'
At Euclid Beach on the flying turns, I′ll bet you can't keep her smilin'
Buy your girl a cotton candy while you′re down on the ground
Then take her on the twirl-a-way and spin her around
Let′s take your car and mess around at the park all day

The parachutes at Riverview Park will shake us up all day
And Disneyland and P.O.P. is worth a trip to L.A.
Watchin' girls in the air can really get you bad
And I′ll bet the laughin' lady makes you laugh like mad
Let′s pick up our friends and do amusement parks USA


Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry folks, step right up to the Beach Boy circus
The best little show in town
Hurry, hurry, hurry, it's only a dime, folks
One thin dime, just one tenth of a dollar
Come on in and see Stella the snake dancer (is it real?)
She walks, she talks, she wiggles on her belly like a snake
(She looks like a fake to me)
(Let′s go see her) it costs too much
Hurry, hurry, hurry folks, come on and see Stella
She shimmies, she shakes, she got-

You'll crash and burn in the bumper cars at Jersey's steel pier
You′ll crack ′em up when you stand in front of all the crazy mirrors
At first, you'll be a chicken at the jackhammer ride
But you′ll do it with a girl sittin' right by your side
Let′s take your car and mess around at the park all day
