[Verse 1]
The Camptown kids all love to sing, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
They clap and dance around the ring, oh, the Doo–dahh day.
They cheer for fun, they cheer for play, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
They laugh and sing the whole long day, oh, the Doo–dahh day.
[Chorus]
Goin’ to run all night, goin’ to sing all day,
Clap your hands and stomp your feet, we’ll laugh along the way.
[Verse 2]
The horses run so fast and bright, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
Their manes and tails are quite a sight, oh, the Doo–dahh day.
The crowd all shouts, “Hooray, hooray!”, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
The race begins, they’re on their way, oh, the Doo–dahh day!
[Chorus]
Goin’ to run all night, goin’ to sing all day,
Wave your hands and cheer them on, they’re speeding down the way!
[Verse 3]
The drummer boy keeps tapping time, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
The trumpet plays a tune so fine, oh, the Doo–dahh day.
The fiddler smiles and starts to play, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
The children dance and spin away, oh, the Doo–dahh day!
[Verse 4]
The Camptown fair is full of cheer, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
The best time of the whole long year, oh, the Doo–dahh day.
With cotton candy, games, and pie, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
And laughter reaching to the sky, oh, the Doo–dahh day!
[Chorus]
Goin’ to run all night, goin’ to sing all day,
Music, games, and happy hearts make everything okay.
[Verse 5]
The teachers lead a learning race, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
To see who knows their numbers’ place, oh, the Doo–dahh day.
They count by twos and fives and tens, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
They sing out loud again and again, oh, the Doo–dahh day!
[Verse 6]
The children paint with colors bright, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
Their pictures fill the air with light, oh, the Doo–dahh day.
They draw the horses, sun, and sky, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
Their art goes up for all to spy, oh, the Doo–dahh day!
[Chorus]
Goin’ to run all night, goin’ to sing all day,
Share your smile and sing your song, in your special way.
[Verse 7]
At sunset all the lights glow bright, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
The stars come twinkling through the night, oh, the Doo–dahh day.
They pack their toys and wave goodbye, Doo–dahh, Doo–dahh,
With sleepy eyes and happy sighs, oh, the Doo–dahh day!
[Final Chorus]
Goin’ to run all night, goin’ to sing all day,
Thanks for joining in the song, we had some fun today!
Goin’ to hum all night, goin’ to dream away,
See you soon for one more tune, oh, the Doo–dahh day!
