Cotton Candy was king On the midway that spring And when I saw you In the ring on the lawn Dear JohnThrowing kisses so Richmond's Unfortunates can go on Oh, the lectures I gaveSo the girls would behave While the band played All your favorite songs Dear JohnThrowing kisses so Richmond's Unfortunates can go on But numbers come up and you're left to the fates Though I always thought you were one of the greats Once somebody stationed in Kuala Lumpur Said he thought you went out, but he couldn't be sure And the midway I knewWhere the sky was so blue With the memory of you is gone Dear JohnThrowing kisses so Richmond's Unfortunates can go on Throwing kisses so Richmond's Unfortunates can go on Throwing kisses so Richmond's Unfortunates can go on Throwing kisses so Richmond's Unfortunates can go on Throwing kisses so Richmond's Unfortunates can go on
