Lyrics
See the carousel, turning around and around there,
It's a fantasy, take a ride, you'll see,
It takes us along, as it spins to a song,
It's a daydream, can you come on along now,
To the carousel, catch a brass ring for luck,
Meet a special girl, hold her hand there,
Take a journey, on a merry-go-round,
It's magic when you're young
Ride a sparkling steed decked out in jewels,
You're a knight in shining armor dress,
It's all make-believe, but no one will tell,
Enjoy your ride on the carousel
Horses glide along, turning around and around there,
It's a fantasy, make-believe,
Take a journey, on a merry-go-round,
It's magic when you're young
See the carousel, turning around and around there,
It's a fantasy, take a ride, you'll see,
It takes us along, as it spins to a song,
It's a daydream, can you come on along now,
To the carousel, catch a brass ring for luck,
Meet a special girl, hold her hand there,
Take a journey, on a merry-go-round,
It's magic when you're young
Ride a sparkling steed deck out in jewels,
Hear a knight in shining armor dress,
It's all make-believe, but no one will tell,
Enjoy your ride on the carousel
Horses glide along, turning around and around there,
It's a fantasy, make-believe,
Take a journey, on a merry-go-round,
It's beautiful, it's wonderful, it's magic, even now.
