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
