OPENER

hey circle left on the merry go round, the merry go round of love
 round and round on the merry go round, find a true love sure is tough 
do an allemande left your corner, run home do a dosado
now boys star by the left once around you know
hey turn your partner by the right & you go left allemande
come on home & swing & whirl & promenade the land
 some people falling off, some are getting on, some are getting ready to jump
    here we go round the merry go round, the merry go round of love 

FIGURE

why 1 & 3 (2 & 4) you square thru & you count 4 hands you know
when you see the corner girl, do a little dosado
swig thru & now boys run to the right
tag the line & when you're there, let's cloverleaf tonight
oh girls square thru, go 3 hands around
swing that corner lady, promenade her on the merry go round
 some people falling off, some are getting on, some are getting ready to jump
    here we go round the merry go round, the merry go round of love 

BREAK

circle left
 i just got off that merry go round, my heart was starting to mend
    the last ride i had was awfully bad, i swore i'd never do it again 
 then i met a little girl she gave me a whirl & i'm off for another ride
    i guess i'll be riding the merry go round until the day i die 

CLOSER

circle left
 how long will i ride the merry go round, how long will it be this way
    how many times must i go round till i find a girl who will stay 
 each time i think i'v found a true love and my riding days are done
    along comes a guy, she waves goodbye, and i'm back where i started from 

TAG

 round and round on the merry go round
    back where i started from
