Every year when summer comes around

They stretch a banner 'cross the main street in town

You can feel somethin's 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'll 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 your braggin', how you wasn't even scared

Well baby you know I just love the sound

Of that pipe organ on the merry-go-round

Baby, down at the county fair



County fair, county fair,

Everybody in town'll 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



At the north end of the field they set up a stand

And they got a little rock and roll band

People dancin' out in the open air

It's James Young and the Immortal Ones

Two guitars, (baby) bass and drums

Just rockin', down at the county fair



(well) County fair, county fair

Everybody in town'll be there

So come on, we're goin' down there

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 rememb
