[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
On a carousel
On a carousel

[Verse 2]
Nearer, nearer by changing horses
Still so far away
People fighting for their places
Just get in the way
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Still, we're going round

[Chorus]
On a carousel
On a carousel

[Bridge]
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
On a carousel
On a carousel

[Bridge]
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too

[Verse 4]
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

[Outro]
On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel
