Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you?
Horses chasing 'cause they're racing
So near yet so far
On a carousel, on a carousel
Nearer, nearer by changing horses
Still so far away
People fighting for their places
Just get in my way
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Still we're going round
On a carousel, on a carousel
Around and round and round
And round and round and round
And round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too
As she leaves she drops the presents
That she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water
Got the highest score
Now's my chance and I must take it
A case of do-or-die
On a carousel, on a carousel
Around and round and round
And round and round and round
And round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too
Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you?
Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her
On a carousel, on a carousel
On a carousel, on a carousel
