The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down

Midi Re-Sequencing and new lyrics (in bold) by Michael G. Anderson (Vodhin) |
I was out strolling down the avenue When a girl so pretty came in-to my view My heart began to flutter My thoughts began to stutter When I saw her get on to the carousel Oh, the Merry-Go-Round went round I jumped on in one bound The whole thing groaned The cogwheels moaned And the Merry-Go-Round went "Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah, Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah!" Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down 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!" Up, and Down Around and around Like a dream T'was love that I'd found Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down It wobbled across the ground To quell her fright I held her tight And the Merry-Go-Round went "Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah, Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah!" Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down! As we danced and whirled around a bell went "ding" I spied something shiny hanging from a spring A joy glowed in her eyes I'd get her the grand prize And tried my best without success for The Brass Ring 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!" Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down But my love was so profound It kept us steady 'Cause we were ready And the Merry-Go-Round went "Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah, Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah!" Oh what fun A wonderful time Finding love For only a dime. Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down But you don't see me frown Things turned out fine And now she's mine - Cause the Merry-Go-Round went "Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah, Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah!" Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down! |
