lyrics

Five pounds of faire, five pounds of faire, every weekend I’m taking home five pounds of faire.
Dust in the air, hasn’t a care, every weekend it’s coating me, five pounds of faire.

The cannon goes off
My hat I doff
The resulting dust cloud, it does make me cough

So I take off my costume
and scrub ’til it’s clean
And I witness the fabric
turn from brown to green

Then I take a hot shower
it feels very nice
But as I am so dirty
I have to bathe twice

——

Five pounds of faire, five pounds of faire, every weekend I’m taking home five pounds of faire.
Dust in the air, hasn’t a care, every weekend it’s coating me, five pounds of faire.

I get in my van
Without a plan
Before I know it, the seats are all tan

So I take off my costume
and wash it with care
I think that this goes beyond
reasonable wear

Then I take a hot shower
it feels very nice
To be rid of five pounds of dirt
is paradise

——

Five pounds of faire, five pounds of faire, every weekend I’m taking home five pounds of faire.
Dust in the air, hasn’t a care, every weekend it’s coating me, five pounds of faire.

When I get home
My hair I comb
There is enough dirt to camouflage Rome

So I take off my costume
and scrub ’til it’s clean
And I wash away five pounds
of dirt and sunscreen

Then I take a hot shower
(huzzah and amen)
And I sleep, so next morning
I can do it again
