(Have I Stayed) Too Long At The Fair / Ready To Begin Again

I wanted the music to play on forever
 Have I stayed too long at the fair?
 I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
 Have I stayed too long at the fair?
 I bought the blue ribbons to tie up my hair
 But I couldn't find anybody to care
 The merry-go-round is beginning to slow now
 Have I stayed too long at the fair?
 The lights of the mid-way are fading above me
 Have I stayed too long at the fair?
 The music has stopped and the children must go now
 I've stayed too long at the fair
 When my teeth are at rest in a glass by my bed
 And my hair lies somewhere in a drawer
 Then the world doesn't seem like a very nice place
 Not a very nice place anymore
 But I take out my teeth, from the glass by my bed
 And my hair from a drawer in the hall
 Still the world doesn't seem like a very nice place
 Not a very nice place at all
 But I put in my teeth, and I put on my hair
 And a strange thing occurs when I do
 For my teeth start to feel like my very own teeth
 And my hair like my very own too
 And I'm ready to begin again
 Ready to begin again
 I'm reaching for the soap
 My heart is full of hope
 Again, again
 I'm Ready to begin again
 Feeling like I've just begun
 Now I'm not afraid to raise the window shade
 And face the sun
 I'll put on my bracelets and broaches
 My rings and my pearls and my things
 And as the new day approaches
 As the new day begins
 I'm ready to begin again
 Looking fresh and bright, I trust
 Ready to begin again
 As everybody must
