Look at the world I have conquered,

I've won every spin of the wheel.

I get everything I go after,

They ask me how does it feel.

I tell them that I'd trade the moon

For a string with an orange balloon,

And the days when my only dream

Was a dish of vanilla ice-cream.



Give me one more chance at the midway,

Let me laugh and be gay as a clown,

Give me back the world I remember,

One more ride on the merry go round.



. . . . . .



I do my shopping in Paris,

My clothes are Balmain and Dior.

I have money to buy friends and lovers,

Well, isn't that what it's for?

But when I go to my bedroom

And stare at my hand painted sky

I think of a world far behind me,

A world that my money can't buy.



Give me one more chance at the midway,

Let me dance with my feet off the ground.

Give me back the world I remember,

One more ride on the merry go round



One more ride on the merry go round

[fade out]



One more ride on the merry go round
