Up and down, round and round
The carousel circle flow
Around around, up and down
Watch the wooden horse go
A childhood memory
We all have a few
A little piece of history
Will never be a fond adieux
The painted treasures we did ride
Amongst the many to choose
Our favorite was our pride
To us it did amuse
So set yourself and join the pace
The ride is almost through
We always said we won the race
As we ride as our steeds flew
