The merry-go-round broke down

Oh, the merry-go-round broke down
and we went round and round
each time t'would miss, we'd steal a kiss
and the merry-go-round went
"um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
um-pah! um-pah! um-pah-pah-pah!'
oh, the merry-go-round broke down
and it made the darndest sound,
the lights went low, we both said "oh!"
and the merry-go-round went
"um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
um-pah! um-pah! um-pah-pah-pah!'
oh what fun - a wonderful time
finding love for only a dime.
oh, the merry-go-round broke down
but you don't see me frown
things turned out fine and now she's mine -
cause the the merry-go-round went
"um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
um-pah! um-pah! um-pah-pah-pah!"
oh, the merry-go-round broke down.
