people make the world go 'round

trashmen didn't get my trash today

oh why? because they want more pay

buses on strike want a raise in fare

so they can help pollute the air

but that's what makes the world go 'round

the up and downs

a carousel

changing people's heads around

go underground young man

people make the world go 'round

you find wall street losin' dough on every share

and they're blaming it on longer hair

big men smokin' in their easy chairs

on a fat cigar and they don't a care

but that's what makes the world go 'round

the up and downs

a carousel

changing people's heads around

go underground young man

people make the world go 'round

people make the world go 'round and round and round we go

some go up and some go down and down and down and down we go

people make the world go 'round

make it every day

some go up and some go down

you know it works that way

but that's what makes the world go round

the up and down

a carousel

changing people's heads around

go underground young man

we go

we go up and down and up and down we go

we go

we go up and all around

where it stops nobody knows

people make the world go 'round

make it every day

some go up and some go down

you know it works that way

we go

we go up and down and up and down we go

we go

we go up and all around

where it stops nobody knows

people make the world go 'round

make it every day

some go up and some go down

you know it works that way

we go

we go up and down and up and down we go

we go

we go up and all around

where it stops nobody knows
