| Song | On a Carousel |
| Artist | The Hollies |

| Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash | |
| Riding along on a carousel | |
| Trying to catch up to you | |
| Riding along on a carousel | |
| Will I catch up to you | |
| Horses chasing 'cause they're racing | |
| So near yet so far | |
| On a carousel, on a carousel | |
| Nearer, nearer by changing horses | |
| Still so far away | |
| People fighting for their places | |
| Just get in the way | |
| Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you | |
| Still we're going round | |
| On a carousel, on a carousel | |
| Round and round and round and round and round | |
| And round and round and round with you | |
| Up, down, up, down, up, down too | |
| As she leaves she drops the presents | |
| That she won before | |
| Pulling ducks out of the water | |
| Got the highest score | |
| Now's my chance and I must take it | |
| A case of do-or-die | |
| On a carousel, on a carousel | |
| Round and round and round and round and round | |
| And round and round and round with you | |
| Up, down, up, down, up, down too | |
| Riding along on a carousel | |
| Trying to catch up to you | |
| Riding along on a carousel | |
| Will I catch up to you | |
| Now we take our ride together | |
| No more chasing her | |
| On a carousel, on a carousel | |
| On a carousel, on a carousel |
