[Verse 1]
Remember the fair, Ma
The two of us there, Ma
By the merry-go-round?
I stood there entranced
As the bright horses danced
To a magical sound
Just sixpence for pleasure untold
And I rode in a whirl of scarlet and gold
[Chorus 1]
Look, Mummy, no hands
I’m riding the roundabout all by myself
Look, Mummy, no hands
I called as I passed her
Faster and faster
“Hold on tight, darling!” she called out in fear
But I laughed and pretended that I couldn’t hear
How careless we are when we’re young…
[Verse 2]
Remember the years
Of the sulks and the tears?
Do you recall?
I hated you when you said
“Be back by ten!”
I knew it all
Always asking to know what I’d done
When, as far as I knew, I was just having fun
Remember the fair, Ma
The two of us there, Ma
By the merry-go-round?
I stood there entranced
As the bright horses danced
To a magical sound
Just sixpence for pleasure untold
And I rode in a whirl of scarlet and gold
[Chorus 1]
Look, Mummy, no hands
I’m riding the roundabout all by myself
Look, Mummy, no hands
I called as I passed her
Faster and faster
“Hold on tight, darling!” she called out in fear
But I laughed and pretended that I couldn’t hear
How careless we are when we’re young…
[Verse 2]
Remember the years
Of the sulks and the tears?
Do you recall?
I hated you when you said
“Be back by ten!”
I knew it all
Always asking to know what I’d done
When, as far as I knew, I was just having fun
