Ferris wheel
Around, around, ferris wheel of delight,
Around, around, waltz away the gay night,
Band music, loud fireworks fill the air,
Fiesta time! Side shows, revelers at the fair!
Around, around, ferris wheel of love,
For you, young sweethearts, a moon above,
Whisper fond nonsense to lady fair,
Her Ma is away, time's short, take care!
Around, ferris wheel, again and again,
Foolish spinsters, why flirt with strange men?
Pickpockets, who knows, at ease from the job;
Relaxing deft fingers from pockets to rob.
Around, sweet schoolgirls giggle with joy,
Your lessons undone, time out to enjoy;
Oh look! Grimly sitting behind you, too,
Are your strict sour-puss, old teachers two!
Around, around, brave children, laugh,
Conceal your fright with a laugh to bluff,
Up! Hold breath, near the steeple high,
Down! Relax, with a loud, loud sigh!
Around, around to band music gay,
Around! Tomorrow's another day,
Enjoy; have fun, around and around,
Forget that cares in the world abound!
