Lyrics
Gonna take my girl to the County Fair
Win a Kewpie Doll ’n a Teddy Bear
She’ll kiss and hug and squeeze me tight
An’ love me for the rest of the night
When I picked her up her Ma told me,
“No hanky-panky on the midway please
And keep your hands to yourself
When the lights go out in the Tunnel of Love.”
Well, the Tunnel of Love and bumper cars
A Grandstand Show with Country Stars
If I get my girl back home by ten
Her Ma said I could take her out again
I took her for a ride on a Ferris wheel
It stopped at the top she closed her eyes and squealed
“I can’t look up and I can’t look down
I want my feet back on the ground.”
We bumped bumper cars, rode the merry-go-round
In the House of Mirrors we were upside-down
Played midway games had tons of fun
Bought pink candy floss for my little turtle dove
Well, the Tunnel of Love and bumper cars
A Grandstand Show with Country Stars
Gonna get my girl back home by ten
So she can go back out with me again
I’ll take her in the Tunnel of Love
I think that’s where she’s thinking of
Showin’ me what she can do
When the lights go out and the moon shines too
That pretty little smile on her face
Told me that just might be the place
Where she was thinking she might show
Just how much she loves me so
Well, the Tunnel of Love and bumper cars
A Grandstand Show with Country Stars
Gonna get my girl back home by ten
So she can go back out with me
Yeah she can go back out with me
So she can go back out with me again
