  *++Lyrics:|\\
On a summer's evening,\\
When the sun goes down,\\
And you're tired of strolling\\
Around the busy town;\\
Seeking recreation\\
Ere the day grows dark,\\
Go and watch the babies playing\\
On the benches in the park.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
On the benches in the park,\\
Children love to play;\\
Sweet little girls, with their bright sunny curls\\
And cheeks like the dawn of a midsummer day;\\
Maiden shy and bashful youth,\\
Come each night to spark;\\
The man in the moon watches them while they spoon,\\
On the benches in the park.\\
//(repeat chorus)//\\
\\
There sits little Marnie,\\
Playing with her doll;\\
Close beside is Katy,\\
With brand ne parasol;\\
Playing house together,\\
Happy as a lark,\\
I have spent some pleasant moments\\
With my sweatheart in the park.\\
\\
See the pretty nurse girls,\\
Dressed so neat and trim,\\
And the park policeman,\\
They all are mash'd on him;\\
Telling jolly stories\\
To sweet Annie Clark,\\
He is there to chase the sparrows\\
Off the benches in the park.\\
\\
