Neil Diamond - Merry-go-round lyrics

The rich and the poor

The rich got a maid

And she takes all the kids to the zoo

It's true

The poor got no maid

So they pack up their kids and go, too

And I ask myself

What it's all about

If the things that I want,

Are the things that really count

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Yeah, Merry-go-round

The good and the bad

Seems like there ain't much difference

Between the two

It's true

The bad cheat someone and get caught

While the good never do

And I'm wonderin'

And I start to doubt

I've been runnin' so long

Ain't it time to turn around

Merry-go -round

Merry-go-round

Yeah, Merry-go-round

And I ask myself

What it's all about

If the thinks that I want

Are the things that really count

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Yeah, Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round
