Climb in the saddle and fasten your belt
Get set for the best thing that you've ever felt
It's your first time? Don't worry
These horses are in no great hurry

Up and down, up and down
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Gently curving, whirling by
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Riding the Merry-Go-Round

Hand-painted figures of bright blue and gold
With shiny brass poles for the riders to hold
First, the bell rings, then you're riding
With a feeling that's better than flying

Up and down, up and down
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Gently curving, whirling by
'Round and 'round and 'round we go

As the organ plays
Making its bold, bright, brassy sound
All the ponies dance
Prancing along on the Merry-Go-Round
You wish you could ride on forever and then
Get right back on and go riding again
It's like gliding on clouds
As you swirl by the carnival crowds

Up and down, up and down
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Gently curving, whirling by
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Riding the Merry-Go-Round
