People everywhere
Are marching to the fair
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
Children stop and stare
Some women marching bare
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
You'll see everyone in town
On their way to common ground
To see the bands go round and round
And if everything go right
And no one make a fight
They can go dancing through the night
Excitement in the air
For everyone who's there
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
No one have a care
They letting down their hair
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
Some of them courting there
Others cavorting there
Some of them haughty there
Most of them naughty there
Watch out what you wear
It only going to tear
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
Those that no in pair
Might ask you for a share
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
All year you sad
You work like man
Keep you in line
With jail or fine
And if you talk
Last mile you walk
But today free
They let you be
People everywhere
Are marching to the fair
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
Children stop and stare
Some women marching bare
Oh yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
