Birds are singing in the trees
E A
As we rise up on a beautiful morning
D
But I can't hear
F# F#7
That beautiful sound
E A
Because I'm permanently yawning
D F# F#7
What about the time of the fancy dress

Your Carousel, that Carousel

Carry round sticky tape

Bait straight people

But you must have missed my wink

But you're so particularly boring)
Maybe you were too busy listening to
