Wheel of fortune

Wheel round

The fair seemed different from the ground

Can’t breathe

Can’t see

Ah me I’m free

 

Oh Big Bill 

Went to the fair ground

To have himself a swinging time

He won himself a coconut hairy

And a bottle of cheap red wine

And he went on the great big dipper

But it didn’t make him lose his cool

But when he climbed on the wheel of fortune

Then he really fell off his stool

 

Wheel of fortune

Wheel round 

The fair seemed different from the ground

So high

Could fly

My my might die

 

As Big Bill paid his sixpence

To the man in the greasy coat

He gazed at the wheel of fortune

And fear gripped him round the throat

As he stepped into his carriage

He knew it would be quite a night

But he’d never ignored a challenge

Though the wheel gave him quite a fright

 

Can’t breathe

Can’t see

Ah me I’m free

So high

Could fly

My my I’ll die

 

Well the wheel went whirling onwards

Through the crisp black Yarmouth night

And the stars winked and winked at each other

And the fairground looked a wonderfull sight

And the children clutched hands with excitement

As the big bright wheel went round

But it stopped in the middle and Big Bill

Dropped a thousand feet to the ground

 

Wheel of fortune

Wheel round

The fair seemed different from the ground

Oh wheel of fortune

You keep wheeling around

The fair seemed different from the ground
