Wheel of fortune wheel round The fair seemed different from the ground Can't breathe, can't see I'm me I'm free
Oh Big Bill went to the fairground To have himself a swinging time He won himself a coconut hairy And a bottle of cheap red wine Then he went on the great big dipper But it didn't make him lose his cool But when he climbed on the wheel of fortune Then he really fell off his stool
Wheel of fortune wheel round The fair seemed different from the ground So high, could fly My my might die
As Big Bill paid his sixpence To the man in the greasy coat He gazed at the wheel of fortune And fear gripped him round the throat As he stepped into his carriage He knew it would be quite a night But he'd never ignored a challenge Though the wheel gave him quite a fright
The wheel of fortune wheel round The fair seemed different from the ground Can't breathe, can't see I'm me I'm free So high, could fly My my might die
Well, the wheel went whirling onwards Through the crisp black Yarmouth night And the stars winked and winked at each other And the fairground looked a wonderful sight And the children clutched hands with excitement As the big bright wheel went round But it stopped in the middle And Big Bill dropped a thousand feet to the ground
Wheel of fortune wheel round The fair seemed different from the ground Oh wheel of fortune you keep wheelin' around The fair seemed different from the ground Oh wheel of fortune you keep wheelin' around
