                                                                                              Round and round
                                                                                          The baskets are swirling
                                                                                  Filled with smiling faces as they go
                                                                                Continually round in circles to the tune
                                                                                  Of loud, brash music in the ears of
                                                                                              People going nowhere
                                                                                                      In the air
                                                                                                Circular motion in
                                                                                The night sky with lights shining brightly
                                                                            Baskets swinging softly gently rocking along
                                                                                  As they constantly loop the same path
                                                                                              Going nowhere until
                                                                                                  The ride’s done
                                                                                                Again taking on new
                                                                                          Passengers eager to join others
                                                                                As they whirl and twirl encircling the metal
                                                                              Frame once more. They climb up and around
                                                                                            Pitching back and forth and
                                                                                                      Up and down
