Well, can you get me out of this Elberton fair?
I am tired of a’wrestling with that stinking old bear
I won a big ugly doll and I don’t care
Yes, Mister please get me out of this Elberton fair
Yes, I rode the Rocket Goat
Yes, I rode the Snake
I even fooled a man about my height and my weight
And if I hadn’t lost my wallet
Yes, I could have learned my fate
Yes, I saw the world’s biggest bull
And the Dog-faced boy
I shot a clown in the eye and thеy gave me a toy
And I paid two dollars for a corndog that I just couldn't enjoy
So takе me away from this damn fair
Yes, I've got cotton candy in my hair
I won a dashboard dog and I don't care
Yes, mister please
I just want to get home from this Elberton fair
I am tired of a’wrestling with that stinking old bear
I won a big ugly doll and I don’t care
Yes, Mister please get me out of this Elberton fair
Yes, I rode the Rocket Goat
Yes, I rode the Snake
I even fooled a man about my height and my weight
And if I hadn’t lost my wallet
Yes, I could have learned my fate
Yes, I saw the world’s biggest bull
And the Dog-faced boy
I shot a clown in the eye and thеy gave me a toy
And I paid two dollars for a corndog that I just couldn't enjoy
So takе me away from this damn fair
Yes, I've got cotton candy in my hair
I won a dashboard dog and I don't care
Yes, mister please
I just want to get home from this Elberton fair
