The sights, the sounds, the smells, the taste
Buzzing with life the Midway lures in the inquisitive marks
Promptly they buy the largest sheet of tickets
Scouting out the shortest lines for the most exciting rides

The sights, the sounds, the smells, the taste
Carnies shouting, “A prize for any player!”
Tossing balls and rings to win a stuffed bear 
Gleefully picking the prize bear but no tickets to spare

The sights, the sounds, the smells, the taste
Pressing fingers onto the glass of the food truck windows 
Caramel apples, corn dogs, and snow cones all bewitching 
Delighting in the sweet smelling sticky cotton candy

The sights, the sounds, the smells, the taste
As night falls, colorful lights illuminate the games and rides
Fireworks explode and boom in the starry night sky
They drift blissfully home with senses satiated
