Twenty bucks buys ten coupons
Two ears of corn and one ride on
The tilt-a-whirl with your favorite girl
Keep on walkin' down the midway
Three-eyed goats and games to play
Step right up, Carney says, "Try your luck"

You can tell the sweet smell of summer in the air
Whole town shuts down, everybody's gonna be there

Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
The country anywhere
Than the county fair

Judging pigs and judging pies
Fighting for the first place prize
And have you seen this year's queen
4-H club and F.F.A.
Working toward a better day
And a petting zoo, yeah, they got that too

And eight o'clock rolls around, everybody knows
The grandstands open up and it's time for the big show

Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowd, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
This country anywhere
Than the county fair

Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger all around
This country anywhere
Than the county fair

Down at the county fair
Big time, big top, big crowds, big hair
There's nothing bigger
In small towns everywhere
Than the county fair
County fair
Yeah, county fair
