county fair

this time each year in our hometown

the county fair comes our way

where the folks gather round to be happy and spend their day

a-here's what happened now

i soon decide that i'd take with me

the most specialest girl i knew

i had her pack us a lunch and on down the dirt road we flew

right then i knew what i had to do

before that day was through

i had to win a stuffed doggie or i'd break her poor heart in two

a let me tell you now

i passed up a chance when i walked by a booth

where you throw a dart and break a balloon

i snuck by a couple more

but i had to get caught real soon

i hit the rubber stump just as hard as i could

but i didn't make it ring the bell

i tried again and again

but i just didn't do so well

can you believe it now

up walked a fella and he tapped me on the shoulder

said

i can win your girl a prize

so

he flexed all his muscles and knocked the bell up in the sky

yeah the big strong guy knocked the bell in the sky

took my girl and the doggie away

yeah the big strong guy knocked the bell in the sky

took my girl and the doggie away

yeah the big strong guy knocked the bell in the sky

took my girl and the doggie away
