here we go again around and around oh it s a merry ride til we re back on the ground you dizzy up the child til the tickets are gone and it s time for the carnival to be moving on it carries you up oh it makes you feel alive it makes you laugh it makes you cry we fold the tents we take the carousel apart we roll away we roll away the sooner you can learn it never lasts the more you ll enjoy the carnival don t hold you re breath don t close your eyes let go of the handlebars so your fingers can fly seize the night and the autumn wind til we close the house of fun and leave town again don t be afraid to be so easily amused it s a thrill we all could use and just like love it wears a candy apple coat that melts away we melt away and the sooner you can learn it never lasts the more you ll enjoy the carnival that s it for the kalidopee keep lookout for the clowns your the first in line the last to leave when we come back around it carries you up oh it makes you feel alive it makes you laugh it makes you cry and just like love it wears a candy apple coat that melts away we melt away and it s over just like a twinkle in the eye so enjoy the carnival enjoy the carnival
