Here I go again. I said here that I didn't write songs, and yet here is yet another verse turned into a song, this one from the early 70's.
Intro:
My mother made me take you out
She said that you were very sad,
Because your mother and your dad
Had perished in a roundabout.
And so I met you at your place
And smiled at you and took your hand.
You didn't smile, but I understand;
I saw the sorrow in your face.
Chorus 1:
Oh, do you remember when I took you to the Fair,
To the Fair?
And how we got together there?
Verse 1:
Oh, do you remember the Ferris Wheel?
That great circle of seats and steel.
Oh, do you remember the Teddy Bear,
And hoards of people everywhere,
And Cotton Candy?
Repeat Chorus 1
Verse 2:
Oh, do you remember the racing game?
The plunger-pulling racing game,
And the ceramic leopard that I won -
You said you hadn't had such fun
Since bumper-cars.
Repeat Chorus 1:
Verse 3:
Oh, do you remember the strength machine?
How I, reluctant, far from keen,
Picked up the hammer, rang the bell?
After that, we said we might as well
Head on home.
Chorus 2:
Oh, do you remember when I took you to the Fair
To the Fair?
And how you smiled at me there?
