HOLLIES - ON A CAROUSEL
(A. Clarke; G. Nash; T. Hicks)
Parlophone R 5562

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 they ain't so far

On a carousel
On a carousel

Nearer and nearer
By changing horses
Still so far away
People fighting for their places
Just get in my way

Soon you'll leave
And then I'll lose you
Still we're going round

On a carousel
On a carousel

Round and round
And round and round
And round and round and
Round and round with you
Up, down, up, down
Up, down, too

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

On a carousel
On a carousel

Round and round
And round and round
And round and round and
Round and round with you
Up, down, up, down
Up, down, too

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

On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel
