Out to the new Fair grounds today
To see the great big show.

So the little ones can go;
For II will teach them many things.
Just what they all should know
They there viii see the puppies
And the cunning little pigs.
So let them have a full, good day
Put on their gayest rigs
Such carriages, such horses,
And cows OF every kind
I tell you there's no show like II.
None like II you will find.
So don't forget to visit II
And take your purse along,
For there youll buy so many things.

The racing is just splendid;
You must sit in the grandstand.

With the music from the band.
The ice cream they will bring around,
And the coolest lemonade;

The finest ever made.
BE sure TO go, tell you.
You will see just everything.
