Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair
But I couldn't find anybody to care
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
The music has stop and the children must go now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
Oh mother dear I know you're very proud
Your little girl in gingham is so far above the crowd
No daddy dear You never could have known
That I would be successful yet so very much alone
I wanted to live in a carnival city
With laughter and love everywhere
I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty
I wanted somebody to care
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new
But now I discover them no longer blue
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
There's nothing to win
And there's no one to want me
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the music to play on forever Have I stayed too long at the fair? I wanted the clown to be constantly clever Have I stayed too long at the fair? I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair But I couldn't find anybody to care The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now Have I stayed too long at the fair? The music has stop and the children must go now Have I stayed too long at the fair? Oh mother dear I know you're very proud Your little girl in gingham is so far above the crowd No daddy dear You never could have known That I would be successful yet so very much alone I wanted to live in a carnival city With laughter and love everywhere I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty I wanted somebody to care I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new But now I discover them no longer blue The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me Have I stayed too long at the fair? There's nothing to win And there's no one to want me Have I stayed too long at the fair? Explain Request ×
