World's Fair

about

I've been fascinated by the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair since I was a little kid. Sadly, I was too young to attend. "World's Fair" is my wish fulfillment song; in it i'm closing my eyes and imagining I've gone back in time to experience the magic and majesty of the World's Fair.

lyrics

“World’s Fair”

verse 1: close my eyes and i’m here
cross the thoroughfare and passing by the unisphere
buy a world’s fair souvenir
it was a good year, mrs. kennedy would find a smile
and everyone would cheer, everyone would cheer

chorus: come on down, we’re gonna have a real good time
sideline that frown, the fair is open late ‘til nine
we’re gonna stay ‘til closing time, can’t wait ‘til next year
the world’s fair is here…

verse 2: pass the turnstile, climbing up the hill
feelin’ like a little child, flyin’ over idlewild
into the sunshine, i hear a thousand children laughing
not a worry on my mind, not a worry on my mind

outro:

vox 1 the world’s fair is here, world’s fair is here

vox 2: the kids come along, mom & dad are welcome
the kids come along, mom & dad are welcome
the kids come along, mom & dad are welcome, the kids come along

vox 3: 1964 world’s fair, 1965 world’s fair
