Savanna had the prettiest blue-black hair
Azure ebony, some call these fat ringlets
I watch her mesmerize the crowd
She is the quintessential fortune teller
Most want her attention – men and women
She has the best predictions,
Nothing gloomy or dire
No terrifying warnings
Her fortunes are given to the fairgoers lovingly
Her kindness is as prominent as her beauty
People feel her star power, wanting more
She gives all, and there is nothing better than that

Pink pony felt silly with all that extra mane so fluffy and big
But her choice was either dye her own mane or wear this wig
She would do anything for her owner, Sarah Leeanna McSwig.
About the rest of these fairgoers she did not give a fig.

The midway Barker sings his song
Enticing fairgoers to part with their cash
Calliope music from the Merry-Go-Round
Attracts children in a hurried dash
Where once grew grass now is mud
Trampled beneath the frenzied mob
Sitting in rows of picnic tables
Are neighbors enjoying their corn on the cob
Johnny throws baseballs at stacked milk bottles
Billy shoots at the metal shaped ducks
Sally is sticky from her cotton candy
Tommy wants to see the monster trucks
Becky displays her quilted blanket
Ann walks through the House of Mirrors
Tommy and Nancy ride the Ferris Wheel
Scooting a little bit nearer
And all alone, outside the stockyard barn
Rebecca sits with a tear in her eye
Holding the blue first-place ribbon
For the calf to whom she just said good-bye
Being voted the Best-In-Show
Is an honor no one else can share
But then having to let her Betsy go
Makes the County Fair seem not so fair
