Oh, the merry-go-round broke down as we went 'round and 'round
each time 'twould miss we'd steal a kiss cause the merry-go-round went oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, oom-pah, oom-pah, oom-pah-pah.
Oh, the merry-go-round broke down. It made the darndest sound
The lights went low, we both said "Oh" and the merry-go-round went
oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, oom-pah, oom-pah, oom-pah-pah.
Oh, what fun, a wonderful time, finding love for only a dime. Oh, the merry-go-round broke down, but you don't see me frown
Ev'rything is fine and now she's mine, 'Cause the merry-go-round went oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah, oom-pah, oom-pah, oom-pah-pah.
Oh, the merry-go-round broke down
