On A Carousel - The Hollies

Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you

Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?

Horses chasing cause they’re racing

So they ain’t so far

On a carousel, on a carousel

Nearer and nearer by changing horses, still so far away

People fighting for their places just get in my way

Soon you’ll leave and then I’ll lose you

Still we’re going round

On a carousel, on a carousel

Round and round and round and round

Round and round and round and round with you

Up, down, up, down, up, down, too

As she leaves, she drops the presents that she won before

Pulling ducks out of the water, got the highest score

Now’s my chance and I must take it, a case of do-or-die

On a carousel, on a carousel

Round and round and round and round

Round and round and round and round with you

Up, down, up, down, up, down, too

Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you

Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?

Now we take our ride together

No more chasing her

On a carousel, on a carousel
