He says it all
All the right words
But he don’t come
With any real offer
The little fella thinks
He’s a king, he ain’t
Even prince charming
One by one by one
We come on
To clubland
And hang in the hall
One by one we
Get off and get on
And go round
And round and
Merry-go-round and
Round and round and
Merry-go-round and
Round and round and
Merry-go-round and
Go round

All I
Hear’s the same
Rhetoric lecture
In my face
I think he’s bluffing
Saying something
Signifying nothing
One by one by one
We come on
To clubland
And hang in the hall
One by one we
Get off and get on
And go round
And round and
Merry-go-round and
Round and round and
Merry-go-round and
Round and round and
Merry-go-round and

Down and around
Like a roller coaster
He’s talkin’ again
But talkin’s nothin’
Nothin’s not
Something isn’t
Anything at all

So for a price
We buy
Pay to play a late
Night Saturday
At the palace
We rattle the walls
With electric machines
We come on
To clubland
And hang in the hall
One by one we
Get off and get on
And go round
And round and
Merry-go-round and
Round and round and
Merry-go-round and
Round and round and
Merry-go-round and
Go round
