Merry-Go-Round Lyrics

There is an ivory horse

Upon a platinum post

Down at the bumper car breaks

Of the roller coast

Where all the riders go on

In an exotic parade

You were there long ago

While the organ played

And although you aren't sure when

You know you will be there again

Upon the merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round (Merry-go-round)

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Out of the strollers they rise

Up to the saddles they crawl

To seize the world by the reins

Standing ten feet tall

I saw the mayor and his wife

Wearing their funny old hats

Sat in the carriage behind

With a herd of cats

And they rose to the sound of the pipe

Which blows a peppermint stripe

Upon the merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round (Merry-go-round)

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Ah

Merry-go-round (Merry-go-round)

Ah

Merry-go-round (Merry-go-round)

Many a person's lost in the crowd of faces

But up on your horse you're the star of the rodeo

Many a year you'll wonder just where your place is

But when you're there in the round you're certainly bound to know

For when the lights flicker off

And all the riders depart

They are sure to return

When the new day starts

And though the faces have changed

It's still the same bumpy ride

You've seen it all before

And from every side

And it calls you to climb up the stairs

Where it all still waits for you there

Upon the merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round (Merry-go-round)

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round (Merry-go-round)

Ah

Merry-go-round (Merry-go-round)

Ah

Merry-go-round (Merry-go-round)
