Wasn't it nice eating chocolate ice As we strolled around the fun fair Then we ate eels on the big ferris wheel As we sailed above the ground but then We had to be quick 'cause Elsie felt sick And we had to find somewhere to take her I said to her lad, what made her feel bad Was the wheel going around

Can't you still hear the noise on the pier As we took a breath of sea air Having a go at every side show We passed along the way, we had Our fortunes told, when it turned a bit cold And a go on the tombola It was such a surprise 'cause I won a prize When the wheel went around

Elsie and me, we finished our tea And we said good bye to the seaside Jumped on the bus, Flo said to us Oh isn't it a shame to go Wouldn't it be grand to have cash on demand And to live like this for always Oh it makes me feel ill when I think of the mill And the wheels going around

I can shut them up tight   make fists I can open them wide    open hands I can put them together   place palms together I can make them all hide   put hands behind back

I can make them jump high   hands over head I can make them jump low   touch floor I can fold them up quietly   fold hands in lap And hold them just so.
