Melanie ... terrible singing voice, but looks to die for. Someone else, of course, not me.
Sorry, dxb, my memory for song titles is crap. Roller-skates it is.

Down at an English fair one evening I was there When I heard a showman shouting underneath the flair
I’ve got a loverly bunch of coconuts...
P.S. What's a "flair" in this context? The boardwalk? the midway? why "underneath" ?

I've always assumed that the flair is the flaired roof of a tent or temporary booth.

Isn't that "flare", as in "flared out"?

By my spelling,yes, but it's possible the song was mis-transcribed.
