Barnet Fair |
| Once a year when the winter’s calling |
| Birds fly south and the leaves are falling down |
| Just beyond the town, the meadow where a campfire’s burning, |
| wakes in the morning to the music of the big fairground |
| Coming from the East, coming from the West, |
| All the gypsies are gathering |
| Just another town on the road for the travelling man |
| Follow me, boys, won’t you follow me to Barnet Fair? |
| Follow on, children, won’t you follow me to Barnet Fair? |
| If I show you the way, will you come along today? |
| Everyone you know will be there |
| Follow me, boys, won’t you follow me to Barnet Fair? |
| Leave the factory, leave the field |
| Word is abroad that the fair arrives today |
| Come on from the dusty loom and the rusty plough |
| Join the procession, I can hear it come this way |
| Come and see the juggler, come and see the fiddler, |
| See the horses and the dancing bear |
| Come and see the pretty lasses with the coloured ribbons in their hair |
| See the magic lanterns and the bat and hoop-la |
| Prizes for the twopenny shy |
| «All the fun on the fair» you can hear the showmen cry |
