The Skeleton and The Roundabout

Lyrics

[Chorus] Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout [Interlude 1] Money, there is none I'm thinner than a skellington [Verse 2] But wait a minute, I'm so thin Then 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!" [Interlude 2] "I'll pay you top-class wages If you'll just hang from this gate" [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout [Outro] La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la...
