Ferris wheels and cotton candy
The folks try to stall as the kids get antsy
They sit there complaining there's nothing else to do

So we pick up our coats and go down to the fair
Who knows what we'll find when we get there?
Eyes will be streaming, faces split in two

Carnies have come to town
If they stay, will you hang around?
Lately where have you gone?
I've been waiting for so long
When will you come back?

Say what you want life's too good to be true
Jump start me after I'm through the sunroof
Soon I'll be home but I don't know if you will too

Carnies have come to town
If they stay, will you hang around?
Lately where have you gone?
I've been waiting for so long
When will you come back?
