Текст песни
I never really fell in love
'Til I went up to Fakenham Fair
I chanced for to meet with a carnival girl
While selling the fortunes there
Tried for a lamp or a Spanish sole
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 and her hair was brown
And her lips they were soft and red
And I'd never seen a shape like hers
And my eyes nearly popped from my head
But 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 your 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 I 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
