| Every year when summer comes around
|
| They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town
|
| You can feel somethin’s happenin' in the air
|
| Well, from Carol’s house up on Telegraph Hill
|
| You can see the lights going up out in Soldiers Field
|
| Getting ready, for the county fair
|
| County fair, county fair
|
| Everybody in town’ll be there
|
| So come on, hey we’re goin' down there
|
| (hey) Little girl with the long blond hair
|
| Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears
|
| Baby, down at the country fair
|
| Now you’ll be hangin' tight when we hit the top
|
| And that rollercoaster’s ready to drop
|
| And your braggin', how you wasn’t even scared
|
| Well baby you know I just love the sound
|
| Of that pipe organ on the merry-go-round
|
| Baby, down at the county fair
|
| County fair, county fair
|
| Everybody in town’ll be there
|
| So come on, hey we’re goin' down there
|
| (hey) Little girl with the long blond hair
|
| Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears
|
| Baby, down at the country fair
|
| At the north end of the field they set up a stand
|
| And they got a little rock and roll band
|
| People dancin' out in the open air
|
| It’s James Young and the Immortal Ones
|
| Two guitars, (baby) bass and drums
|
| Just rockin', down at the county fair
|
| (well) County fair, county fair
|
| Everybody in town’ll be there
|
| So come on, we’re goin' down there
|
| Little girl with the long blond hair
|
| Come win your daddy one of them stuffed bears
|
| Baby, down at the county fair
|
| Now it’s getting late before we head back to town
|
| We let that fortune wheel spin around
|
| Come on mister tell me what’s waiting out there
|
| On my way out I steal a kiss in the dark
|
| Hope I can remember where our car’s parked
|
| Baby, out at the county fair
|
| Now off down the highway there’s the last stream of cars
|
| We sit a while in my front yard
|
| With the radio playin' soft and low
|
| I pull Carol close to my heart
|
| And I lean back and stare up at the stars
|
| Oh I wish, I’d never have to let this moment go |
