Each year september
there's a fair going on
in the market square
Then I remember
how we both fell in love
how it happened there
Love at first sight, on a wonderful starry night
Oh, the trills I found on that merry-go-round!
with no one but you on my side
Holding a candy floss, watching the showmen
an old fortune-teller was reading your hand
Like all young lovers we really were crazy
twisting and turning and spinning around
Remember that old carroussel
the first time you kissed me I fell
Oh baby, my sweet baby, I loved you so much
I was under your spell
So young and so green just seventeen
a romeo with his belle
Strolling at the fairground
I was lost in a dream
while I searched for you
There in the background
you could hear ballad singers
the songs we knew
