County Fair

Every year when summer comes around They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town You can feel somethin' 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 will 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 you're braggin', how you wasn't even scared Well baby, you know I just love the sound Of the pipe organ on the merry-go-round Baby, down at the county fair County fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, we're goin' all 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 where they set up a stand And they got a little rock and roll band People dancin', yeah, out in the open air It's James Young and the Immortal Ones Just two guitars, baby bass and drums Just rockin' down at the county fair Well, county fair, county fair Everybody in town will be there So come on, 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 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
