Our Sand Dial, the Sun's Rays

  
                 Come and ride the merry-go-round
                     Horses up, horses down
                 Hang on to the pole, don’t you fall
                     Say hello to the circus clown

                 Come and hear the calliope
                      Close your eyes and count to three
                  Cheerful music, spirits soar
                       Laughter sails across the sea

                  Come and ride the merry-go-round
                       Welcome to our happy town
                   We pull up stakes in two more days 
                       Our sand dial is the bright sun’s rays
