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 they ain't so far
On a carousel  on a carousel
Nearer and 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
Round and round and round and round
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
Round and round and round and round
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
