[Verse 1]
Birds are singing in the trees
As we rise up in a beautiful morning
But I can't hear that beautiful sound
Because I'm permanently yawning
What about the time of the fancy dress
When you came dressed as your mum?
And there I was, splendid in my penguin suit
So scared to show my bill

[Chorus]
You must have been
Listening to your Carousel, your Carousel
That Carousel

[Verse 2]
Remember the time
When I turned the house into a rocket ship?
And you refused to come to Mars, you said, "It's too far"
And you had to be back by six to watch your Carousel

[Chorus]
Mmm, Carousel, oh, Carousel
Saturn's much too far, you had to watch Carousel
(What's going on in there?)
[Verse 3]
When we first met, I asked you for your hand
I didn't really mean that hand
I meant join hands, bake phallic cake
Carry 'round sticky tape and love those devil dogs
Be an Indian elephant
Bait straight people
But you must've missed my wink, you must've missed my wink
(I love you, but you're boring, you know)
Oh, you must've missed my wink
My wink, must've missed my wink

[Chorus]
(Maybe you were too busy)
Listening Carousel, Carousel, listening to Carousel
(I really do love you, but you're so particularly boring)
Watching Carousel, listening Carousel, living Carousel
You were watching Carousel, listening Carousel, living Carousel
You were watching Carousel, you were listening Carousel
You were living Carousel
You were watching Carousel, you were living Carousel
You were watching Carousel
You were watching Carousel, you were watching Carousel
You were watching Carousel
