I wanted the music to play on forever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be
constantly clever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?

I bought me blue ribbons
To tie up my hair
But I couldn't find anybody to care
The merry-go-round
Is beginning to slow now.
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
The music has stopped
And the children must go now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?

Oh, mother dear
I know you're very proud
Your little girl in gingham
Is so far above the crowd.

No, daddy dear
You never could have known
That I would be successful
Yet, so very much alone.

I wanted to live in a carnival city
With laughter, laugh everywhere
I wanted my friends to be
thrilling and witty
I wanted somebody to care.
I found my blue ribbons
All shiny and new
But now I discovered them
No longer blue.

The merry-go-round is
beginning to taunt me
Have I stayed to long at the fair?
There is nothing to win
And there's no one to want me
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
