Have you ever been on a Merry-Go-Round
With horses gliding up and down

The music plays and the colors are bold
Mirrored bright lights of blue, red and gold

It's really great fun to ride and pretend
To be a cowboy on horseback, running in the wind

Or will I be a 'knight of olde' so brave
With armor and shield my queen to save

Or a jockey today at a fancy race track
Sitting up high on my champion's back

A kid in the country maybe that's what I'll be
Riding wild and fast, bare backed and free

I'll gallop through creeks and lush meadows fair
Whenever I want, where ever I dare

If you've never ridden on a Merry-Go-Round
With horses gliding up and down

Then all it takes is a ticket today
To be who you want, to pretend and to play

And if we should not the brass ring win
For twenty-five cents, we can ride it again
