Carnivals and cotton candy Carousels and calliopes Fortune-tellers in glass cases We will always remember these Merry-go-rounds quickly turning Quickly turning for you and me And the whole world madly turning Turning, turning 'til you can't see We're on a carousel A crazy carousel And then we go around And then we go around And then we spin around Up high above the ground And down again around And up again around So high above the ground We feel we've got to yell We're on a carousel A crazy carousel We're on a ferris wheel A crazy ferris wheel A wheel within a wheel And suddеnly we feel The stars begin to reel And down again around And up again around And up again around So high abovе the ground We feel we've got to yell We're on a carousel A crazy carousel Carnivals and cotton candies Carousels and calliopes Crazy clowns chasing brass rings Soda pops and rock-candy trees Merry-go-rounds quickly turning Quickly turning for you and me And the whole world madly turning Turning, turning 'til you can't see We're on a carousel A crazy carousel And then we go around And then we go around And then we spin around Up high above the ground And down again around And up again around So high above the ground We feel we've got to yell We're on a carousel A crazy carousel We're on a ferris wheel A crazy ferris wheel A wheel within a wheel And suddenly we feel The stars begin to reel And down again around And up again around And up again around So high above the ground We feel we've got to yell We're on a carousel A crazy carousel We're on a carousel A crazy carousel And then we go around And then we go around And then we spin around Up high above the ground And down again around And up again around So high above the ground We feel we've got to yell We're on a carousel A crazy carousel Carnivals and cotton candies Carousels and calliopes Kewpie dolls with painted faces Tricky shell games and missing peas Merry-go-rounds quickly turning Quickly turning for you and me And the whole world madly turning Turning, turning 'till you can't see We're on a carousel A crazy carousel And then we go around And then we go around And then we spin around Up high above the ground And down again around And up again around So high above the ground We feel we've got to yell We're on a carousel A crazy carousel We're on a ferris wheel A crazy ferris wheel A wheel within a wheel And suddenly we feel The stars begin to reel And down again around And up again around And up again around So high above the ground We feel we've got to yell We're on a carousel A crazy carousel We're on a carousel A crazy carousel And then we go around And then we go around And then we spin around Up high above the ground And down again around And up again around So high above the ground We feel we've got to yell We're on a carousel A crazy carousel La, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la La, la, la, la, la - la!
