Peggy Lee - One More Ride on the Merry-Go-Round lyrics

Look at the world I have conquered I've won every spin of the wheel I get everything I go after They ask me how does it feel I tell them that I'd trade the moon For a string with an orange balloon And the days when my only dream Was a dish of vanilla ice cream Give me one more chance at the midway Let me laugh and be gay as a clown Give me back the world I remember One more ride on the merry go round I do my shopping in Paris My clothes are Balmain and Dior I have money to buy friends and lovers Well, isn't that what it's for? But when I go to my bedroom And stare at my hand painted sky I think of a world far behind me A world that my money can't buy Give me one more chance at the midway Let me dance with my feet off the ground Give me back the world I remember One more ride on the merry go round One more ride on the merry go round One more ride on the merry go round One more ride on the merry go round
