The rich and the poor
The rich got a maid
And she takes all the kids to the zoo
It´s true
The poor got no maid
So they pack up their kids and go, too

And I ask myself
What it´s all about
If the things that I want,
Are the things that really count
Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round
Yeah, Merry-go-round

The good and the bad
Seems like there ain´t much difference
Between the two
It´s true
The bad cheat someone and get caught
While the good never do

And I´m wonderin´
And I start to doubt
I´ve been runnin´ so long
Ain´t it time to turn around
Merry-go -round
Merry-go-round
Yeah, Merry-go-round

And I ask myself
What it´s all about
If the thinks that I want
Are the things that really count
Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round
Yeah, Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round
