This song was a part of a Christmas album I made in 2009 at The Electric Cave in Portsmouth New Hampshire with Marc McElroy and a bunch of dear and talented friends.
lyrics
Holiday Fair (Dan Blakeslee)
Grab your cape and mittens dear
Through the snow and follow me here
To the center of the town x2
Bells will bring us there to the holiday fair
Handmade lederhosen
A scarf for when you’re frozen
From the center of the town x2
Where cinnamon sweeps the air at the holiday fair
Zeke has found a wooden boat
A salt lick for his billy goat
From the center of the town x2
Tea and sweet cakes there at the holiday fair
Follow me jolly be At the holiday fair x2
See the men of tin and gingerbread
A dolly that is peppermint fed
From the center of the town x2
With my corduroy teddy bear at the holiday fair
A sock puppet for Veronika
A licorice harmonica
From the center of the town x2
Where the ornamental flair
Is made with thought and care
I bet you’ll find it there at the holiday fair
Where the trumpets blare
On a yule tide mare
Hear the drummers snare
Follow me there
To the holiday fair
Follow me there x2
