Verse:

Got me a brand new gingham dress,
Hope you think it's cute.
Say, did you tell your maw to press
Your Sunday go-to-meetin' suit?
This sort of extra special day
Comes but once a year.
Oh, how long we've waited
And now, by gosh, it's here, so,

Chorus:

Snap your tie on and slick your hair,
We gotta git a-goin' to the county fair.
Fetch the buggy and hitch the mare,
We gotta git a-goin' to the county fair.
Big tops and side shows, just take your pick;
You'll stop for popcorn, but I wanna taffy apple on a stick.
So, spend your money 'n see the sights,
We ain't a-gonna leave until they douse the lights.
When it's over, remember this,
You cuddle up a little bit and steal a kiss.
Go on and spoon, the harvest moon won't care;
Goin' home is so much nicer than goin' to the county fair.
