Merrygoround (that Bowery Song)

The Libertines

What's that song we use to sing?

It's about anything

Everything and anything

What's that song we use to sing?



You are always thinking of her

You're in love

And you don't know what to say

But I saw her at the fair

And she feels the same way

She was married by the merry go round

The merry go round

Merry go round

Merrily we go round



It was the first one of the day

It was the last one of the night

Oh hold me tight

Hold me tight

Hold me tight now



There's a parade of girls outside

That boy's so shy

Why'd you punch out his lights?



They said you were a wronged

But I can see in your eyes

How you are gentle and wise

And you had the good stuff



Aahhh...there's a parade of girls outside

That boys so shy

Why'd you punch out his lights?



What was that song you use to sing?

What was that song we use to sing?

Sing that song we use to sing



It's about anything and everything



The times of your life

The people that we meet



It was the first one of the day

It was the last one of the night

Oh hold me tight
