I was walking through the park one day,  
In the very merry month of May,  
I was taken by surprise,  
By a pair of roving eyes,  
I was walking through the park one day.

You’re the icing on the cake  
A special holiday  
Since I laid eyes on you  
I knew you were the one

Every day will be like a holiday.  
When my baby, Oh when my baby  
When my baby comes home.

Every day will be like a holiday.  
When my baby,  
When my baby comes home.

When you’re on a holiday  
You can’t find the words to say  
All the things that come to you  
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun  
We’ll be playing and having fun  
And it makes me feel so fine I can’t control my brain

Life is a three ring circus  
all the ups and downs of a carousel  
That I know so well  
Life is a three ring circus  
Just one little ride on a merry go round  
Going round and round and round and round and round and round.

What goes up must come down  
spinning wheel got to go round  
Talking about your troubles it’s a crying sin  
Ride a painted pony  
Let the spinning wheel spin

To see thee more clearly  
Love thee more dearly  
Follow thee more nearly  
Day by day

Everyone is trying to get to the bar  
The name of the bar, the bar is called heaven  
The band in heaven, they play my favorite song  
Play it one more time, play it all night long  
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.

Juggling nickels and dimes  
satisfied with the fish on the line.

I can’t forget but I don’t remember who
