When you're older maybe you will have no problem Marry and be happy till you're old and gray There will be no clouds Maybe if you're lucky you will rock one day Up, down, round and round Life is a carousel With every turn Try for the brass ring When you grow up you will have a lifetime of money You won't ever have to worry about the rent There will be no clouds Maybe you'll grow up to be the president Up, down, round and round Life is a carousel With every turn Try for the brass ring Up, down, round and round Life is a carousel With every turn Try for the brass ring There is always something that is â€~bout to happen Praying all the time and things will be okay If there is a cloud And you feel it's that, just have to sing this way
