Don't leave me in the park
when it gets dark and I'm
all alone
Don't leave me in this chair
with no one there stay here
or take me home
The barbeque has long been over
The fireworks are over, boom, boom, boom
Am I just a July Memory?
Ah...
Could be mosquito bites
But that's all right it's just
Rhisosomes
Could get stung by a bee
just you and me and then
we'll go home
The band has gone to long since silence
The band is gone the music's overdue
One two three four!
Ah...
Will you remember me?
Catastrophe you might
in the silence
Or take me home with you
so just we two are left
of the party
No one else has ever known me
No one lese has known me quite like you
No one else has ever loved me
Aah...
Don't leave when they all go
or else I'll know that I'm
all alone
Don't leave me in the park
when it gets dark and I'm...
