Fakenham Fair Lyrics - Pandemonium: The Essential Bellowhead - Bellowhead

I 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

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
