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.
