b.a. robertson – carnival lyrics

[verse 1]
when i was young we used to have carnivals
when everyone came to our town
and if you’re sure you haven’t heard this before
then come around, sit ye down
gather round all you young people
and listen then to this, my tale
take a seat and draw in quite close
i’ll tell you then, how festivals always used to be

[verse 2]
well there was hustle and bustle and stalls at our carnival
and beer flowed and sideshow and all
there was drinking and laughing and fun at our carnival
and a brass band that playеd all day long
every conceivable song
thеy played and they played all day long
they played all day, throughout the day
then drank all night
oh they had us so much fun
we’d laugh and sing till dawn
till our cares had gone
inside a song

[verse 3]
let’s make this song, our own celebration
relive the times when i was young
run up the spire with g+y declaration
and chase your fancy through the crowd
someone give the band a stirring refrain
let them blast it out playing from their hearts
marching along as if it’s in their number
playing tuba and euphonium, cornets and a drum
[verse 4]
we’ll have marching girls strut at the head of the circus
with acrobats, clowns just behind
our street parade will have a cast of a thousand
marching round and around and around
up streets and down streets, and around
around and around and around
we’d march all day throughout the day
then play all night
we had us, so much fun
we’d laugh and sing til dawn
till all our cares had gone
inside a song

[verse 5]
then evening felt darkness surrounds us
big top lights up in blaze
and your heart lights up for the loved one
oh i recall those days gone by, loves gone by
(we’ll sing this song for each generation)
(take up the chance for it may goes)
(who’ll sing my song throughout every nation)
(and should it out from in your heart)

[outro]
sing this song for each generation
take up this chance for it may parts
sing this song throughout every nation
shout it out from in your hearts
sing this song for each generation
take up this chance for it may parts
sing this song throughout every nation
shout it out from in your hearts
