Fairground
from How To Die Laughing

FAIRGROUND
The fun of the fair Is just over the hill If we don’t go now Then we never will The coconut shies, The rides and the slides The long bungee cord That shoots us to the skies

The Helter Skelter And candy floss trees Betting some pennies On a circus of fleas Winning a goldfish Or a few fluffy toys The fun of the fair, Is for girls and for boys
The lights are so bright, The music is blaring Swirling in tea cups, The pirate boat’s daring The carousel spinning, Dodgems careening The Ferris wheel turns, Happy people are screaming
The eery ghost train, The hall of bent mirrors Keep testing ourselves Getting the shivers All part of the treat, Forgetting our troubles Blow a small fortune While blowing some bubbles
