Lyrics

Dusty road to the fairground gate
Two tickets in my sweaty hand
You are laughing at my haircut
I am laughing, I don't understand

Pink cotton candy on my sleeve
Sticky fingers on the rail
We are spinning on the teacups
Going round and I don't want to fail

The lights come on
One by one

Hold on tight, the wheel goes round
Feet off the ground, no looking down
Sticky hands and a silly grin
Take my hand, let the night begin
Hold on tight, the music's loud
Lost my hat in the happy crowd
Fairground lights and you by my side
Best night ever, take the ride

I tried to win you a purple bear
Threw the ball and it hit the sky
The man gave me a tiny whistle
You blew it and I almost cried

The lights come on
One by one

Hold on tight, the wheel goes round
Feet off the ground, no looking down
Sticky hands and a silly grin
Take my hand, let the night begin
Hold on tight, the music's loud
Lost my hat in the happy crowd
Fairground lights and you by my side
Best night ever, take the ride

Up at the top, it all goes still
Town below us, quiet and small
You say, don't let go
I say, I never will

Hold on tight, the wheel goes round
Feet off the ground, no looking down
Sticky hands and a silly grin
Take my hand, let the night begin
Hold on tight, the music's loud
Lost my hat in the happy crowd
Fairground lights and you by my side
Best night ever, take the ride

Take the ride
Take the ride
