Merry‑go‑round
 (Sung text for setting by G. Bachlund)
 Matches original text
Language: English 
Happy go merry go Sunday go round
in the park on a bright shiny morning is found
        To be maybe the day isn't quite what it was
                but so better than could be and all this because
Of a happy go fun day go merry go round
in the park in the light as the morning is bound
        To tomorrow and sorrow
                and double the trouble
                        that others have found after
Happy go merry go one day go round
in that park on a that bright shiny morning is found
        again and again ever after again
                and amen and amen and amen. Amen.
