about

This song is in the key of E major and was written on 30th December 1986.
Andy recorded his vocals for this at George’s old flat at 19 Haldon Road, Exeter, the scene of many parties.
The two last Elephant Fayres took place in 1985 and 1986 near St Germans in Cornwall. They were fantastic festivals. The 1986 Elephant Fayre had a serious outbreak of mud.

lyrics

DOWN AT THE ELEPHANT FAYRE
It’s the summertime and you know what that means
Better get your tent and your sleeping bag
You better get out your thumb and stand by the side of the road
You better get yourself ready for another crazy time
Down at the Elephant Fayre

Put your hip clothes on and see who’s going too
You better suss that lift or they’ll be hitching too
Try to find out who’s playing, not that you really care
Better get yourself ready for another crazy time
Down at the Elephant Fayre
Down at the Elephant Fayre

There’s milk and honey of a different kind
There’s fun and laughs, enough to blow your mind
Anything you could need you will surely find
Better get yourself ready for another crazy time
Down at the Elephant Fayre
Down at the Elephant Fayre
Down at the Elephant Fayre
Down at the Elephant Fayre
Down at the Elephant Fayre
