Shep Fields/Russ Morgan

 Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down
 And we went round and round
 Each time t'would miss, we'd steal a kiss
 And the Merry-Go-Round went
 "Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
 Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah-pah!'
 Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down
 And it made the darndest sound,
 The lights went low, we both said "Oh!"
 And the Merry-Go-Round went
 "Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
 Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah-pah!'
 Oh what fun - a wonderful time
 Finding love for only a dime.
 Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down
 But you don't see me frown
 Things turned out fine and now she's mine -
 Cause the the Merry-Go-Round went
 "Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
 Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah-pah!"
 Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down
