Climb in the saddle and fasten your belt Get set for the best thing that you've ever felt It's your first time? Don't worry These horses are in no great hurry Up and down, up and down 'Round and 'round and 'round we go Gently curving, whirling by 'Round and 'round and 'round we go Riding the Merry-Go-Round Hand painted figures of bright blue and gold With shiny bra** poles for the riders to hold First the bell rings, then you're riding With a feeling that's better than flying Up and down, up and down 'Round and 'round and 'round we go Gently curving, whirling by 'Round and 'round and 'round we go As the organ plays Making its bold, bright, bra**y sound All the ponies dance Prancing along on the Merry-Go-Round You wish you could ride on forever and then Get right back on and go riding again It's like gliding on clouds As you swirl by the carnival crowds Up and down, up and down 'Round and 'round and 'round we go Gently curving, whirling by 'Round and 'round and 'round we go Riding the Merry-Go-Round
