BLUE RIBBONS

"Johnny's so long at the fair"

old English folk song (Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be)

hey there and nonny nonny

talk about your fair bound johnny

Blue Ribbons.

why is he so late.

forget all that and bake a pie

a very cherry triple berry

crust that's pinched

and you're a cinch

for Blue Ribbons.

betcha win First Prize.

and hurry home it's half past one

the damage to the pumpkin done

there's no more coach and you are broke

and all that's left of fairy gowns is

Blue Ribbons

oke, hoof it back from town

how the world goes round.

when it wants renown

each froggie in the puddle deep

and all the tadpoles cannot sleep

they want

Blue Ribbons.

Blue Ribbons.
