Miscellaneous
The Merry-go-round Broke Down
The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down
Shep Fields/Russ Morgan
Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down
And we went round and round
Each time t’would miss, we’d steal a kiss
And the Merry-Go-Round went
«Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
Um-pah!
Um-pah!
Um-pah-pah-pah!'
Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down
And it made the darndest sound,
The lights went low, we both said «Oh!»
And the Merry-Go-Round went
«Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
Um-pah!
Um-pah!
Um-pah-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
Things turned out fine and now she’s mine —
Cause the the Merry-Go-Round went
«Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
Um-pah!
Um-pah!
Um-pah-pah-pah!»
Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down.
