Flying Merry-Go-Round - Barry McGuire

We took a journey through a swirling pool

Spinnin' around in space

We got to thinkin' that it sure was cool

Called us the human race

Turnin' 'round and 'round and 'round

Spinnin' 'round and 'round and 'round

Goin' 'round and 'round and 'round

She’s a flyin' merry-go-round

Such a lovely merry-go-round

(Merry-go-round)

The very first couple got to foolin' around

Broke the life support system down

Whatever we did or however we tried

Everybody started to die

Turnin' 'round and 'round and 'round

Spinnin' 'round and 'round and 'round

Goin' 'round and 'round and 'round

She’s a flyin' merry-go-round

Such a lovely merry-go-round

(Merry-go-round)

The Builder / Designer had to come on board

Mendin' the broken day

The life support system now has been restored

He’s taken the death away

He’s taken the death away

Turnin' 'round and 'round and 'round

Spinnin' 'round and 'round and 'round

Goin' 'round and 'round and 'round

She’s a flyin' merry-go-round

Such a lovely merry-go-round

A highflyin' merry-go-round
