It’s so noisy at the fair
But all your friends are there
And the candy floss you had
And your mother and your dad
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and colored balloons
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinkin’ that you’re leavin’ there too
You’re leavin’ there too soon
[break]
There’s a girl just down the aisle
Oh, to turn and see her smile
You can hear the words she wrote
As you read the hidden note
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and colored balloons
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinkin’ that you’re leavin’ there too
You’re leavin’ there too soon
