Ridin' along on a carousel
Tryin' to catch up to you
Ridin' along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you
Horses chasin'
'Cause they're racin'
So near yet so far
On a carousel
On a carousel
Nearer nearer by
changing horses
Still so far away
People fightin' for their places
Just get in my way
Soon you'll leave and
then I'll lose you
Still we're goin' 'round
On a carousel
On a carousel
'Round 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
Pullin' 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 and
'round and 'round and
'round and 'round with you
Up down
Up down
Up down too
Ridin' along on a carousel
Tryin' to catch up to you
Ridin' along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you
Now we take our ride together
No more chasin' her
On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel
