Hop On the Joy Ride
Hop on the joy ride, where no gloom is found.
On poles - up and down - bright animals glide
And children are smiling round and around.
Hop on the joy ride!
Choose a good seat! We should sit side by side!
How about the zebra, next to the hound?
Or would you prefer that horse, so wild-eyed
It seems he’ll fly off the merry-go-round!
This gay carousel will also provide
A tune that recalls our youth's happiest sound.
Hop on the joy ride!
