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 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
