Pulling ducks out of the water
Up, down, up, down, up, down too
So near yet so far
Riding along on a carousel
As she leaves she drops the presents
Up, down, up, down, up, down too
Trying to catch up to you
Got the highest score
And round and round and round with you
Now we take our ride together
Riding along on a carousel
Horses chasing 'cause they're racing
Round and round and round and round and round
On a carousel, on a carousel
On a carousel, on a carousel
That she won before
People fighting for their places
Now's my chance and I must take it
Still so far away
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Will I catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
And round and round and round with you
Will I catch up to you
On a carousel, on a carousel
A case of do or die
Nearer, nearer by changing horses
Still we're going round
No more chasing her
Round and round and round and round and round
On a carousel, on a carousel
Just get in the way
