On a Carousel

Riding along on a carousel

Trying to catch up to you

Riding along on a carousel

Will I catch up to you

Horses chasing 'cause they're racing

So near yet so far

On a carousel, on a carousel

Nearer, nearer by changing horses

Still so far away

People fighting for their places

Just get in the way

Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you

Still we're going round

On a carousel, on a carousel

Round and round and round and round and round

And round and round and round with you

Up, down, up, down, up, down too

As she leaves she drops the presents

That she won before

Pulling ducks out of the water

Got the highest score

Now's my chance and I must take it

A case of do-or-die

On a carousel, on a carousel

Round and round and round and round and round

And round and round and round with you

Up, down, up, down, up, down too

Riding along on a carousel

Trying to catch up to you

Riding along on a carousel

Will I catch up to you

Now we take our ride together

No more chasing her

On a carousel, on a carousel

On a carousel, on a carousel
