Love's Roundabout 1950

Round and round for ever and ever
we're riding on love's roundabout;
Rich or poor
or foolish or clever
Round we must go,
year in, year out.
Tinker, tailor,
soldier or sailor
Dream as the world goes riding by.
Turn the pages back thro' the ages;
What are their names?
Just you and I.
You're the one I want to be nearest
Never to lose or be without.
Side by side,
my darling, my dearest
Gaily we ride love's roundabout.

Thro' the years
we'll hear this music making
each note float on the blue;
While the fairground tune is ringing
back the thrill will still come winging
you will have me
and I shall have you.

Up as high as heaven we're gliding
snatching at stars as they come out.
Life's a horse that doesn't need guiding
when you are on Love's roundabout.
Banker, baker,
candle stick maker,
This is the call we all obey,
When love starts its roundabout twirling
Off we go whirling on our way.
From now on
we'll never be parted
This time it's love beyond a doubt
Hold me close,
the music has started
here we go round love's roundabout.
