Song lyrics to The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down

Shep Fields/Russ Morgan

Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down
And we went round and round
Each time t’would miss, we’d steal a kiss
And the Merry-Go-Round went
“Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah-pah!’

Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down
And it made the darndest sound,
The lights went low, we both said “Oh!”
And the Merry-Go-Round went
“Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah-pah!’

Oh what fun – a wonderful time
Finding love for only a dime.
Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down
But you don’t see me frown
Things turned out fine and now she’s mine –
Cause the Merry-Go-Round went
“Um-pah-pah, um-pah-pah
Um-pah! Um-pah! Um-pah-pah-pah!”

Oh, the Merry-Go-Round broke down.
