Carousel
Johnny went down to Euston
To take a train up north
Didn’t know where he was going
But he knew he had to head on out
He’s into hard work
And following a path
He’s streets ahead of the rest
He’s got the last laughs

He’s on a carousel
You never can tell
He’s on a carousel
You never can tell

Susie’s got a memory
Like you would not believe
Other things people don’t notice on the streets
She can always see
She’s got a magnetic mind
She’s got powers of recall
Other people don’t get it
But Susie can see through it all
She’s on a carousel
You never can tell
She’s on a carousel
You never can tell

Sylvie came over from Italy
To work here in the sticks
She’s into marine biology
And statistics
They told her she was crazy
They told her she was wrong
But she’s doing what she loves
She’s singing her own song

She’s on a carousel
You never can tell
She’s on a carousel
You never can tell


Henry looks wild
He’s got big crazy hair
He still plays in a couple of bands
Here and there
When he was a boy of seventeen
He wanted to go to London to have it made
But his daddy said: ‘No son’
You gotta stay behind and learn a trade
He’s on a carousel
You never can tell
He’s on a carousel
You never can tell

They’re on my carousel
Oh you never can tell
They’re on a carousel
You never can tell
