If you think you got troubles
I knew a girl named bubbles
She did a dance she called the paradise
Ain't that nice
One night she did her dance
She had them in a trance
Till some wise guy brought a safety pin
Now she wears a grin

Ride on ride on your merry-go-round
Don't be afraid cause it won't break down
Dance and sing and raise your glass
Drink to the good times and hope my friend
That they last

So if you're feeling blue
It's really nothing new
And here's a lesson
You should take from me
Because it's free
Just you remember friend
To find that happy end
To find a pot of gold
Where rainbows shine
You got to take the time
Ride on ride on your merry-go-round
Don't be afraid cause it won't break down
Dance and sing and raise your glass
Drink to the good times and hope my friend
That they last
