Lyrics
Find another songI never really fell in love 'til I went out to fakenham fair
A chance for 't meet with a carnival girl who was selling the fortunes there
try for a lamp or a spanish shawl or a golden filigree
but all the while her eyes were saying oh come take a chance on me
so swing around, the merry go round
give the wheel of fortune a whirl
the finest prize at fakenham fair
is the pretty carnival girl
her eyes were blue her hair was brown her lips they were soft and red
and I've never seen a shape like hers and my eyes nearly popped from my head
for I was young and innocent oh but still even I could see
the way that she smiled and winked my way said come take a chance on me
so swing around, the merry go round
give the wheel of fortune a whirl
the finest prize at fakenham fair
is the pretty carnival girl
the old boys said she's not for you now what will the old people think
but I took my chance and I won that girl just as quick as an eye could wink
and the finest day in all my life whatever may come to pass
was the day that I went to fakenham fair and won me the carnival lass
so swing around, the merry go round
give the wheel of fortune a whirl
the finest prize at fakenham fair
is the pretty carnival girl
so swing around, the merry go round
give the wheel of fortune a whirl
the finest prize at fakenham fair
is the pretty carnival girl
