The roosters gonna crow any minute
But I've been awake ahead of him
I've been down in the cornfield tending to the corn
Finished all my chores long before the morning came

I gotta get an early start this morning
Gotta pick old Farmer Morgan up at five
The whole darn town has been waiting for
This day with baited breath
It's been so long in coming round
We worried half to death

But the day at last is here
Give a cheer

Odi ai, odi ay
What a great big wonderful day
Not a care in the air
Everybody you know
From Matilda to Joe will be there
At the county fair

Odi ay, odi ai
What a great big beautiful sky
All the clouds, like the crowds
You can bet will be dressed
In their brightest and best
For they'll be staying
At the fair today

The teenage misters
Will be shooing little sisters
To the ferris wheel up above
Then they'll be getting
Their best gals for petting
In the tunnel of love

Odi ay, odi ai
Come and throw your troubles away
Just a grin gets you in
On this day of the year
When there's nothing but cheer to share
At the county fair

See the ferris wheel
Going round and round
First you touch the sky
And then you're on the ground

See the carousel
Now the race begins
Horses, camels, kangaroos
But no one ever wins

Have you tasted Mrs Perkins pickles
Or her marvellous mince meat pie
They're as easyu on your stomach
As her daughter is on your eye

All the judges are anticipating
They've been waiting for the time when they
Could taste Mrs Johnsons strawberry pie
Mrs Grangers cake but my oh my
It's only a mere formaility they say
'Cause it's ten to one Mrs Perkins
Will win today

Odi ai, odi ay
That loveable, laughable, affable
Mrs Perkins will win today

There's a lot of cows, a lot of horses and a lot of hogs
At the fair
Yes, we've got our champions to spare
But will you take a look over there
At the boy and the lamb
With the black curly hair

You're gonna be
The best little sheep
The best little sheep
The best little sheep
At the fair

It's plain to see
That you'll be the winner
You'll be the winner
Oh how the folks will stare

You haven't got
A coat of white, it's black as night
But that's alright you put the rest to shame

An if you're not up
To the pace
Lose the race
That's no disgrace
I love you just the same

If it's up to me
I'll see that you get the
See that you get the
See that you get the prize

'Cause the judges are wise
And the crowd they have eyes
It'll be no surprise
They'll do what they've gotta do
They'll pin a big blue ribbon on you

No use denying
Thay you'll feel your heart a flying
'Cause it's perfectly okay
We get a glowing
Just 'cause were nowing
The trrain stops here today

Odi ay, odi ai
Come and throw your troubles away
Just a grin gets you in
On this ginger featuring crackerjack
Can hardly wait till it came back
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To the county fair.
