Mister Collins runs a trailer park
Down Bloomington way
He don't allow no rock and rollin'
He wouldn't let us play rock 'n' roll
music on a satuday night
I wanna hear the poundin' beat
Electric guitars plugged in
Sure sounds sweet
Jim, he said there'd be a dance
Collins Park is the place
We rented the hall even though it's small
And there ain't much space
for shakin' it up and havin' a ball
I wanna be Kathy's fool
When the saxophones
blare and you fly in the air
Diggin' the music that's cool
"At COLLINS PARK ROCK just ain't allowed
At COLLINS PARK ROCK is just too loud
You can dig on country, if you choose
Swing, Polka or Broadway Show Tunes
But at COLLINS PARK ROCK just ain't allowed"
Wingo and Esch' were pullin' a load
From Richfield to the gig
It must have been a country mile
You know that made it big enough to get fancy and ready to blow
I wanna sail on the 'SKY
Poundin' the Remos makes me move it
Far and wide
"At COLLINS PARK ROCK just ain't allowed
At COLLINS PARK ROCK is just too loud
You can dig on Country, if you choose
Swing, Polka or Broadway Show Tunes
But at COLLINS PARK ROCK just ain't allowed"
