That Old Lazy Susan

You know what they say ‘bout that old lazy Susan
     She goes round and round, like a race car that’s cruisin’
Can’t slow it down, in perpetual motion
     Where she will stop is an interesting notion

She’s seen a few years, a few cracks here and there
     But she still does the job so then, what do we care
And though she’s adept at handling passes
     She always winds up holding everyone’s glasses

The children do love her, an old family friend
     Especially the one with the arm on the mend
So no matter the day and the time of your choosin’
     You can always rely on that old lazy Susan
