I'm a carousel horse
and I go round the course,
yes, I circle around all day

and I go up and down
as I go round and round
while the "oom pah pah" music plays

You can have a good time
if you'll just spend a dime
then hop up on my back...hooray!

You should learn not to frown
when the world lets you down,
you must pick yourself up and say,

(chorus)
"Round, round, carousel, carousel,
round, round, here we go, here we go,
round, round, carousel, carousel,
I'm riding quite well today."
