Each year September
There's a fair going on
In the market square
Then I remember
How we both fell in love
How it happened there
Love at first sight
On a wonderful starry night
Oh, the thrills I found
On that merry-go-round!
With no one but you on my side
Remember that old carousel
The first time you kissed me, I fell
So young and so green, just seventeen
A Romeo with his belle
Remember that old carousel
The first time you kissed me, I fell
Oh baby, my sweet baby
I loved you so much
I was under your spell
Strolling at the fairground
I was lost in a dream
While I searched for you
There in the background
You could hear ballad singers
The songs we knew
Love at first sight
On a wonderful starry night
Oh, the thrills I found
On that merry-go-round!
With no one but you on my side
Remember that old carousel
The first time you kissed me, I fell
So young and so green, just seventeen
A Romeo with his belle
Remember that old carousel
The first time you kissed me, I fell
Oh baby, my sweet baby
I loved you so much
I was under your spell
Holding a candy floss, watching the showmen
An old fortune-teller was reading your hand
Like all young lovers we really were crazy
Twisting and turning and spinning around
Remember that old carousel
The first time you kissed me, I fell
So young and so green, just seventeen
A Romeo with his belle
Remember that old carousel
The first time you kissed me, I fell
Oh baby, my sweet baby
I loved you so much
I was under your spell
