The Skeleton and the Roundabout - The Idle Race

作曲：Jeff Lynne

Climb 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
