The Skeleton And The Roundabout |
| Climb aboard my roundabout |
| Climb aboard my roundabout |
| I am the fairground man at heart |
| I run the roundabout this part |
| I fill this fair but custom have I none |
| I turn the handle round so fast it makes my elbow ache |
| Nobody seems to care |
| No-one rides upon my roundabout no longer anymore |
| Oh what a horrid fair! |
| Climb aboard my roundabout |
| Climb aboard my roundabout |
| Climb aboard my roundabout |
| Climb aboard my roundabout |
| Money there is none — I’m thinner than a skeleton |
| But wait a minute, I’m so thin |
| That all these aches and pains could be a chance for me |
| I could be a horror or a ghost in a ghost train |
| I think I’ll go and see |
| I meet the man who runs the ghost train |
| He says, «you're just great! |
| I’ll pay you top class wages |
| If you’ll just hang from this gate» |
| A year is passing lots of food and money come my way |
| Oh lucky man am I |
| But who’s this telling me, «you're fired! |
| You’re much too fat to be a ghost, be on your way!» |
| So here I am |
| Climb aboard my roundabout |
| Climb aboard my roundabout |
| Climb aboard my roundabout |
| Climb aboard my roundabout |
