lyrics

Merry Go Round
Merry go round
Once you go up
You must come down

Merry go round
Merry go round,
around, and around
and around….

There once was a woman
Who stood by her man
College sweethearts til the end.
In her eyes, he could do no wrong.
Candle lite dinners, two kittens
and a baby girl, they name Brat

Merry Go Round
Merry go round
Once you go up
You must come down

Merry go round
Merry go round
Around, and around
And around

Then came October
It was bitter, it was sweet
a rude awakening, she soon would meet
for in her bedroom, down
on his knees, laid her husband
with a woman, she once called,
her mom….

Merry Go Round
Merry go round,
Once you go up
You must come down

Merry go round
Merry go round
Around, and around
And around

“That was my man,
You didn’t even use protection”

A round and round
Around, around, and around
Round and around
Around and around.

Led by Marvin Tate — a poet, artist, playwright and raconteur who wore pipe cleaners in his hair — and supported by a large, dynamic cast of characters, their music was both of and ahead of its time. ... more
