Oh the merry-go round broke down

Oh the merry-go round broke down

And we went round and round

Each time t'would miss we'd steal a kiss

And the merry-go round went

Um-pah-pah um-pah-pah

Um-pah um-pah um-pah-pah-pah

Oh the merry-go round broke down

And it made the darndest sound

The lights went low we both said oh

And the merry-go round went

Um-pah-pah um-pah-pah

Um-pah um-pah um-pah-pah-pah

Oh what fun a wonderful time

Finding love for only a dime

Oh the merry-go round broke down

Yet you don't see me frown

Is turned out fine and now she's mine

Cause the merry-go round broke down

Um-pah-pah um-pah-pah

Um-pah um-pah um-pah-pah-pah

Oh the merry-go round

Oh the merry-go round

Oh the merry-go round broke down

Oh the merry-go round broke down
