[Verse]
Girlfriends, boyfriends
Going to the movies or a dance
Girlfriends, boyfriends
Going where the gang goes for romance
My sweetie and I aren't proud
But why should we follow the crowd?
Yesterday we found a hideaway
Where nobody else is allowed

[Chorus]
I got a sweet little spot by the river
To take the sweet little gal in the flivver
And it's a great place for running out of gasoline
Where the grass grows green
We never stay in the car for a minute
Because the cop comes around looking in it
And so we're out sittin' pretty on a magazine
Where the grass grows green
Just two miles away from the city skies of gray
Where the big avenue ends
Where stars twinkle down like they never do in town
And you don't bump into friends
I'm gonna trade in the sweet little flivver
And get a house and a lot by the river
Where I can be with the sweetest gal you've ever seen
Where the grass grows green
[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]
Got a sweet little spot by the river
To take the sweet little gal in the flivver
And it's a great place for running out of gasoline
Where the grass grows green
We never stay in the car for a minute
Because the cop comes around looking in it
And so we're out sittin' pretty on a magazine
Where the grass grows green
Just two miles away from the city skies of gray
Where the big avenue ends
Where stars twinkle down like they never do in town
And you don't bump into friends
I'm gonna trade in the sweet little flivver
And get a house and a lot by the river
Where I can be with the sweetest gal you've ever seen
Where the grass grows green
