FUN AT THE CARNIVAL
~^~
The carnival has come to town
I but always just love to see all the funny clowns up high on their stilts
Are perhaps maybe some Scottish men dancing in kilts
Bringing inner child out making me excited tonight
For the first time in years I have good eyesight
Tryin hard not to miss a thing in sight
~^~
Walkin lookin back till out of sight
I but always just love it when the carnival comes to town
Cotton candy elephant ears and whipped pineapple ice cream have to have always
Find my love with rides viewing beautiful sights as we share our light
Ferris wheel high thrill
Hearing squeals
Getting stuck up top gives me a chill
~^~
But it also give me such a thrill
Skill and still to see all the pretty bright lights
A game of chance lead to romance
It brings out that little girl in me every time the Carnival comes to town
Eatin corn dogs and sippin on fresh lemonade is so very yummy as lights and sounds surround
~^~
Fireworks sparkle and shine so bright
Theres always something to delight your eyes
Even down to all the pies
The sparkle and gleam shining in their eyes
Beautiful lights that light up the night
And light up the faces of children so bright
From far and near you kin see all the pretty bright lights
~^~
And all the amazing sights
Such a spectacular sight
As you watch the tumbling clowns
We have so much fun when the carnival comes
Squealing with excitement with every rum tum tum
I imagine I am flying high on the trapeze
Feeling upon my face a cool breeze
~^~
Cotton candy candy apples you kin eat
So delicious and so sweet
To see the carnival come my way
Love those roller coasters up and down and all around when it will stop nobody knows
Sorry trying to delet it it is doubled oh boy in trouble now. Pardon

The Carnival Has Come To Town
CPC Collab
By Diane Asher
Bringing inner-child out making me excited
No time to be uptight
Lets get on and ride and everything be alright
Walking looking back till out of sight
Feeling like a clown taking away the frowns
With my inner child, I will reunite
Or a racehorse I will be running at Up son Downs
Lets all have fun like the clowns
I but always just love it when the carnival comes to town
It brings out that little girl in me every time
Love those Roller Coasters up and down and all around, when it will stop nobody knows
Carmel apples so gooey and sweet
Such a delicious treat for all to eat
Cooling off on the water rides
So much excitement building up inside
I but always just love it when the carnival comes to town
A game of chance lead to romance
The final night is the big dance
Looking around
Then, into each others eyes
As lights and sounds surround
Reflecting the love we felt our hearts beats pound
Connecting feelings of delight with sparklles in our eyes
Those beautiful lights that light up the night light we shared tonight
You and me will shine dancing until midnight

A day filled with so much joy
To see the carnival come my way

Ferris Wheel high thrill
Feeling upon my face a cool breeze
It takes my very breath away
Getting stuck up top gives me a chill
As music fills the air with a festive sound
I Can’t wait to get my feet on the ground
~
Lets all have fun and see the clowns
As you watch the tumbling clowns
Clowns are flipping all around
Smiles galore as in come the clowns
the smiles on their faces light up the place
And all the little ones wanted to stay
The clowns lift our spirits and we never frown
And light up the faces of children so bright
As music fills the air with a festive sound
Can I have this dance and give it one more chance
Looking into each others eyes as we dance
reflecting the love in your eyes
It lifts me up when I’m feeling down
On this warm summer night
It really makes me feel alive
~
Beautiful lights that light up the night
From far and near you kin see all the pretty bright lights
And all the amazing sights
There ‘s the rush we get from a roller coaster ride
High rides that takes our very breath away, leaving no place for our fears to hide
Roller coaster ride always have the wind blowing in our hair & no worries do we feel
Love those Roller Coasters up and down and all around, when it will stop nobody knows
Looping around and where it surprisingly goes
On a warm summer night, the carnival came to town,
The carousel horses were moving up and down.
Fireworks were sparkling, shining so bright,
It truly was a spectacular sight.
They held hands while sitting on the merry go round,
The music filled the air with a festive sound.
Bright neon lights filled the skies,
Reflecting the love within their eyes.
They held each other in a warm embrace,
He lovingly brushed the hair from her face.
He looked at her, and said everything would be alright,
Then he walked away, looking back at her, till he was out of sight.
She never knew what happened to him, the night the carnival came to town.
He disappeared into the night without a sound
She remembered the warmth of his touch, in her pillow she cried.
Clutching her broken heart, she closed her eyes and died.
THE CARNIVAL HAS COME TO TOWN
Making me want to go round and round
I watch the tumbling clowns
They wipe away your every frown
They will never let you down
The rides around bring squeals of joy
For every little girl and boy
Taking the time to relax and enjoy
Beautiful lights that light up the night
Lighting up the faces of children so bright
Seeing their little faces is such a spectacular sight
On this warm summer night
Fireworks sparkle and shine so bright
Filling the sky with bright neon lights
Cotton candy, corndogs and lemonade are such wonderful treats
Popcorn, hot dogs and funnel cakes just make it all complete
Clowns proudly lead the way for the carnival parade
All dressed up in their funny masquerade
The carnival has come to town tonight
With rides, clowns and magical lights
Their dreams will be so sweet
When they close their eyes so tight
Thanks to my carnival friends for their lines and their inspiration, Angel love, Diane, Debbie, Scotorum, and also me
CARNIVAL CARNALITY
The carnival has come to town,
making me want to go round and round,
and at the same time, up and down
as you and I sit on the merry-go-round.
I always love to see clowns on high stilts,
or perhaps young Scottish men in their kilts,
The sight of Scottish men in kilts on stilts
always makes the schoolgirls’ pupils enlarge,
no matter if their names are Jill or Marge,
because those Scots aren’t wearing underwear
under there.
Whenever the carnival comes to town,
it always erases any and all frowns,
enouraging me to play a lighter role,
bringing out the inner-child in my soul.
For the first time in years, I have good eyesight!
Anticipating excitement tonight!
It’s time to let loose, not be so uptight.
Maybe get drunk and get into a fight.
hopefully not with the Bearded Lady;
maybe a Leprechaun named Darby O’Grady.
Then after I beat up that sick little twerp,
we’ll drink some beer till he lets out a burp
as loud as a foghorn on a ship out at sea.
Then I’ll wait while he stands by a tent post to pee.
After that we’ll compete in some carnival games,
while he tries to attract a few carnival dames.
Hit wooden milk bottles with baseballs for prizes,
then shoot a balloon when its full size arises.
Squeals of laughter will surely abound
when a fart he lets out makes a frightening sound.
Highlight of the night is the Upson Downs Derby,
which Darby will win as the jockey for Kirby,
a horse from the carny ride mentioned above.
Which brings us right back with a push and a shove
to you and I going around and around
on that same flamingly lame little merri-go-round…
…until I passed out and awoke in a dream
about all the above. Please don’t curse me, or scream.

SUMMER FUN
by Barbara K
A CPC Collab
I love it in the summer
when the carnival comes to town
with its cotton-candy smiles
chasing away winter frowns.
It lifts my spirits
when I’m beginning to feel down;
I love it in the summer
when the carnival comes to town.
There’s always something fun
to delight my ears and eyes;
fireworks sparkling across the skies
as all around you can hear happy cries,
blazing beams lighting up the night
and illuminating the faces
of children so bright.
We have so much fun
when the carnival comes;
children squealing with excitement
with every rum-tum-tum
of the big bass drum
as I imagine I’m flying high
swinging on the trapeeze,
feeling so free
and so much at ease.
I love it in the summer
when the carnival comes to town,
each day filled with anticipation
and so many joys and thrills,
though some of the rides
do leave us with chills.
But with so much excitement
building up inside,
I can’t help but toss
all my worries aside.
I’m so glad the carnival
has finally come to town
and I can hardly wait
’till next year comes around.
