To have some fun and see what I could see

I took a ride on a shoot-the-chute
Am
That girl I sat beside was awful cute
F G
And after while she was holdin' hands with me

My heart was flyin' up like a rocket ship
Am
Down like a roller coaster

Back like a loop-the-loop

And around like a merry-go-round

We ate and ate at a hot dog stand

We danced around to a rockin' band
