1. Danbury Fair Polka

  2. Music by John Carvette and Dana Briggs

  3. We are going to the Fiar, smell the popcorn in the air.

  4. “Merry Midway” beckons you, lots for everyone to do.

  5. Leahy, Jarvis top hat smile, that bid you welecome all the while,

  6. And when you see the band go marching by, ferris wheel up in the sky,

  7. They you know it’s great to be at the Fair in Danbury.


  9. Livestock, grandstand, village spots, Cinderella land for tots,

  10. With the Big Top painted bright, oh, what fun, from morn ‘til night.

  11. People come from near and far, to see this great spectacular,

  12. So every Fall come on and follow me to the place you ought to be,

  13. There is just so much to see at the Fair in Danbury.

Danbury Song by Stephanie Biello, 2007

  1. Zadock Benedict plugged his shoe with fur,

  2. He never realized felt would occur,

  3. Molding hats on his bedpost at night,

  4. Hats from Danbury really took flight!


  6. Location had made Danbury good

  7. For holding war supplies when no one else could.

  8. British troops did not like this at all,

  9. They burned down Danbury houses and all!

  10. No flooding water for burning flame,

  11. Could keep us from praising it’s name!


  13. Danbury a great place to be!

  14. The city of hats and diversity,

  15. With the biggest fair that

  16. You ever could see,

  17. Rich with culture -

  18. let’s tell you about its history!

  26. Verse by King Street Intermediate School:

  27. Our families come from many different places,

  30. We stand here together hand in hand

  31. No flooding water or burning flame, could keep us from praising its name!


  33. Bridge:

  34. In nineteen fifty five the Still River rose and washed the street away,

  35. The city’s flood had come

  36. The streets were all gone

  37. The people had to leave their homes, but they built it back!
