Released on Bluebird 10300 Recorded 1939 Orchestra conducted by Vincent Lopez Running Time: 3 mins 7 secs Lyrics: Oh, the concert in the park Where we met in the dark Oh, what an atmosphere We started cuddling near It was grand And the band was playing... Slower than the dickens While I sipped a glass of cola So I asked if their pianos Couldn't play a bar of "Nola" Oh, the concert in the park I felt just like a lark My heart was filled with bliss Each time we sealed a kiss It was grand And the band was playing... Something like a polka There was awful lots of meter So I took a ripe tomato And threw it at the leader Sweet music brought romance our way The more they'd play, the more we'd love The more we'd love, the more they'd play Oh, the concert in the park That showed that certain spark And when you whispered, "Yes" I found my happiness It was grand And the band was playing... Symphonies and waltzes From beginning to the coda And I got so darn disgusted That I couldn't drink my soda Now we're all set because we met At the concert in the park You're talking 'bout the concert And it doesn't mean a thing You never liked the concert All you ever liked was swing You never got romantic at a concert So you're wrong Unless you think it sounded Kind of pretty in your song Now we're all set because we met At the concert in the park
