Once upon a time
In Massachusetts at Nantasket Beach
There was a place so grand
Paragon Park was the place to be
Oh what fun it was
On the Carousel Merry-Go-Round
Be it day or night at Paragon Park
Treasured memories could be found
So easy it was
To get lost in the Penny Arcade
Then come out with prizes galore
And enjoy pizza and lemonade
The Bumper Cars were a smash
And The Kooky Kastle a scream
Don’t pass by that cotton candy
Or your favorite ice cream
In a carved out log canoe
Float through the Congo Cruise
Finish with a big splash
On to the next ride you knew
You’d stand in line for an hour
Just to ride the Roller Coaster
Then come back and get in line again
To be the Best Ride Boaster
And in my younger days
I even worked there for one day
But working there was not for me
At Paragon Park I’d much rather play
