On the Roundabout

On the roundabout
I'm on the roundabout again - I cannot stop
Turning like the hands on the clock - Roundabout

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
I can't remember what she said to me
Keep on breathing count up one two three
What was it that would set me free

Calm Calm down
She said to
Calm Calm down

We've learned the secrets of the incas
We've harvested the best things in the world
To stop your mind from going into overdrive
Spending all the night in a whirl

On the roundabout
I'm on the roundabout again - I cannot stop
Turning like the hands on the clock - Roundabout

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
I can't remember what she said to me
Keep on breathing count up one two three
What was it that would set me free

Calm Calm down
She said to
Calm Calm down

Mark Gertler 'The Merry-Go-Round' 1916
