Are you going to Loughborough Fair?
Hot dogs, brandy snaps, candy floss
Remember me to mates you see there
Carousels, waltzers spinning across.
Make sure you put on a waterproof coat
Hot dogs, brandy snaps, candy floss
A pair of gloves, a scarf round your throat
Carousels, waltzers spinning across.
Forget an umbrella, however it rains
Hot dogs, brandy snaps, candy floss
You’ll poke someone’s eye out, they’re sure to complain
Carousels, waltzers spinning across.
Go on a Wednesday when not many there
Hot dogs, brandy snaps, candy floss
To avoid the crowds, that crush out the air
Carousels, waltzers spinning across.
Make sure you take a pocket of change
Hot dogs, brandy snaps, candy floss
No high value notes that they won’t exchange
Carousels, waltzers spinning across.
Are you going to Loughborough Fair?
Hot dogs, brandy snaps, candy floss
I think I'll stay here, at home in my chair!
Carousels, waltzers spinning across.
