Country Fair Lyrics

If you didn't see the six-legged dog
It doesn't matter
We did, and he mostly lay in the corner
As for the extra legs

One got used to them quickly
And thought of other things
Like, what a cold, dark night
To be out at the fair

Then the keeper threw a stick
And the dog went after it
On four legs, the other two flapping behind
Which made one girl shriek with laughter

She was drunk and so was the man
Who kept kissing her neck
The dog got the stick and looked back at us
And that was the whole show

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
