Trash men didn't get my trash today

Oh why because they want more pay

Buses on strike want a raise in fare

So they can help pollute the air

But that's what makes the world go round

The ups and downs the carousel

Changing people they'll go around

Go underground young man

People make the world go round

Wall street losin' dough on every share

They're blaming it on longer hair

Big men smokin' in their easy chairs

On a fat cigar without a care

But that's what makes the world go round

The ups and downs the carousel

Changing people they'll go around

Go underground young man

People make the world go round

Round round and round round

But that's what makes the world go round

The ups and downs the carousel

Changing people they'll go around

Go underground young man

People make the world go round

People make the world go round

People make the world go round
