〈Verse 1〉There he goes, just see him run
His busy day has just begun
Making money out of you and me
That's his liffe's philosophy
〈Chorus〉The fairground man takes all, win or lose
So pay your money now, if you choose
Step right up 'cause it's all in the game
And take your money, still the same
〈Verse 2〉He just stands here all night long
And listens to his money singing its song
People jump up, people jump down
They all think that he's a clown
〈Chorus〉The fairground man takes all, win or lose
So pay your money now, if you choose
Step right up 'cause it's all in the game
And take your money, still the same
〈Verse 3〉He'll be right there and say it's time to go
Watching the people ride to and fro
He's always in in the mind and weather
Watching the people come back together
〈Chorus〉The fairground man takes all, win or lose
So pay your money now, if you choose
Step right up 'cause it's all in the game
And take your money, still the same
〈Verse 4〉People look at him and they feel sorry
Well you believe me, they don't have to worry
If he says he's poor, then he exaggerates
He's got a mansion in the woods where he hibernates
〈Chorus〉The fairground man takes all, win or lose
So pay your money now, if you choose
Step right up 'cause it's all in the game
And take your money, still the same
〈Chorus〉The fairground man takes all, win or lose
So pay your money now, if you choose
Step right up 'cause it's all in the game
And take your money, still the same
