               Mary Poppins killed a dream today
               Locked it up and threw the key away
               It was a very old and dusty dream
               Everybody knows - 

               There's no time for happiness today
               Got a date for lunch a PLASTIC TRAY
               Got a deal to sign her life away
               Got an early grave she's gotta make
               And we are all insane

               Hold on 
               Slow down
               You'll never get to heaven on this merry-go-round
               Turn on
               Turn round
               You know you're going nowhere 
               If you keep on going round
               The merry-go-round

               Christopher Robin blew his friends away
               Wrapped 'em up and moved up Barnsley way
               Got a job he's milking PLASTIC TRAYS
               Got a line in filling early graves

               Round and round and round and round he goes
               Where he stops well no-one seems to know why
               They've forgotten just what he could be
               He's the same the same as you and me
               We are all insane

               Hold on 
               Slow down
               You'll never get to heaven on this merry-go-round
               Turn on
               Turn round
               You know you're going nowhere 
               If you keep on going round
               The merry-go-round 
               The merry-go-round
               Where you go-there you go-round

               Go on
               Slow down
               You'll never get to heaven on this merry-go-round
               Turn on
               Turn round
               You know you're going nowhere 
               If you keep on going round
               The merry-go-round
