Artist: Electric Light Orchestra Album: N/A (0000) Title: The Skeleton & The Roundabout
Lyrics The Skeleton & The RoundaboutClimb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout I am the fairground man at heart I run the roundabout this part I fill this fair but custom have I none
I turn the handle round so fast it makes my elbow ache Nobody seems to care No-one rides upon my roundabout no longer anymore Oh what a horrid fair!
Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout
Money there is none - I'm thinner than a skeleton
But wait a minute, I'm so thin That all these aches and pains could be a chance for me I could be a horror or a ghost in a ghost train I think I'll go and see
I meet the man who runs the ghost train He says, "you're just great! I'll pay you top class wages If you'll just hang from this gate"
A year is passing lots of food and money come my way Oh lucky man am i But who's this telling me, "you're fired! You're much too fat to be a ghost, be on your way!" So here I am
Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout Climb aboard my roundabout |
