On the amusement park,
The carousel’s magical charm
Comes to life
With the menagerie of animals
The mythical and familiar
The ride goes up -it goes down
round and round -- thrills and chills
Riding on brightly painted ponies
Reaching for the brass ring
While lovers steal kisses
in the gondolas
Away from prying eyes

As night falls
on the amusement park,
the carousel’s magical charm
comes to life
with the menagerie of animals
the mythical and familiar
the ride goes up -it goes down
round and round -- thrills and chills
riding on brightly painted ponies
reaching for the brass ring,
while lovers steal kisses
in the gondolas
away from prying eyes.
