Dagwood dogs and fairy floss

I remember Dagwood dogs and fairy floss
When going to the Loxton Show
Simple things stick in my memory
From long years ago when I was young
Yes it's true I'll have you know
Hot cinnamon donuts, burgers and greasy chips
All those things that are bad for you: you crave
They linger in your memories as you grow
The horses jumping around the tracks
The animals all on show: sights and smells
Yes all these things come back to me
As I wander around with my family
They take me back to my childhood
They are right there pressing close
As I see and hear and smell today
Yes they are clamouring in my brain
Childhood days from yesteryear
I remember them: just like yesterday!
