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
