Spinning colors round

Here's the caravan

Clowns and jugglers lead...

When all the lights go down

The wild enchanting world

Of our entertainers

Takes life before your very eyes...

See the carrousel

Spinning colors round

Here's the caravan

Clowns and jugglers lead

The musicians play

Their sweet serenade

Dressed up to the nines

Here comes the parade!

Go back to your seats!

I'll conduct the orchestra!

Quiet!

Please excuse this little incident. On with the show!

You're joking! Give me that!

See the carrousel

ln every child's eyes

Such wonder can be read

And every lover's gaze

Reflects the bright sun's rays

Let the spotlights shine

On the acrobats

And you, audience

Behold the splendors

Such color and music

Thrilling masquerade

World of fantasy

Here comes the parade!

The musicians play

Their sweet serenade

Dressed up to the nines

Here comes the parade!

Such color and music

Thrilling masquerade

World of fantasy

Here comes the...

parade!

Not here?

I had it earlier.

There's paint everywhere!
