Lyrics
The Queens Park
From Shirley Close down Sheldon Way
I'd take a walk most every day
Cutting school and feeling fine
Catch that corporation thirty nine
Into the heart of Chesterfield
To the rhythm of the busses wheels
Queens Park was the place to be
Full of laughter happy memories
Melodies from a silver band
Soaring out of the old grandstand
Then I saw you sitting all alone
On a park bench, a princess' throne
Glancing up from your open book
Giving me that invitation look
I was trying hard to impress
Offered you my only cigarette
We walked together hand in hand
Past the playground and the silver band
Through an indoor garden fantasy
Full of flowers and fritilleries
Queens Park was the place to be
Full of laughter and tranquility
Melodies from a silver band
Soaring out of the old grandstand
We rowed in green boat number eight
The perfect choice for our debut date
With only swans for company
You gave your first shy kiss to me
In the leafy cool of the yew trees shade
I still recall those promises we made
Queens Park was the place to be
Full of laughter happy memories
Melodies from a silver band
Soaring out of the old grandstand
