One More Ride On The Merry-Go-Round

Look at the world I have conquered

I've won every spin of the wheel

I get everything I go after

They ask me how does it feel

I tell them that I'd trade the moon

For a string with an orange balloon

And the day when my only dream

Was a dish of vanilla ice cream

Give me one more chance at the midway

Let me laugh and be gay as a clown

Give me back the world I remember

One more ride on the merry-go-round

I do my shopping in Paris

My clothes are Balmain and Dior

I've money to buy friends and lovers

Well, isn't that what it's for

But when I go to my bedroom

And stare at my hand-painted sky

I think of the world far behind me

A world that my money can't buy

Give me one more chance at the midway

Let me dance with my feet off the ground

Give me back the world I remember

One more ride on the merry-go-round

One more ride on the merry-go-round

One more ride on the merry-go-round
