The Carousel Song
I’m a carousel horse
and I go round the course
yes I circle around all day
and I go up and down
as I go round and round
while the “oom pah pah” music plays
You can have a good time
if you’ll just spend a dime
then hop up on back…Hooray!
You should learn not to frown
when the world lets you down
you must pick yourself up and say,
“Round, round, carousel, carousel,
round, round, here we go, here we go,
round, round carousel, carousel,
Letsl have a good ride today!”
