Lyrics
Some people like to spend a Summer’s day
In Sheepshead Bay or Rockaway
Some people like to ride on the top of a bus
The top of a bus is not for us
When we have a moment or two to spare
There’s one little spot that we like quite a lot
And you’ll always find us there
Chorus
Rolling down Bowling Green
On a little two-seat tandem
Rolling down Bowling Green
And stealing a kiss at random
The policeman would say, “Oh, oh”
But we wouldn’t understand ‘im
Rolling down Bowling Green
On a little two-seat tandem
‘Round and ’round and round we go
Till the stars are tired and the moon is low
Till the stars are tired and the moon is low
‘Round and ’round and round we go
You’ll find your dreams come true
Just exactly as you plann’d ’em
Rolling down Bowling Green
Oh, it’s nice and dark in Battery Park
Rolling down Bowling Green
On a little two-seat tandem
