'Round and 'round, the years go 'round and 'round

And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound



Now she's down and out, everyone's above her

Tried everything a gal could try

She takes the notion that nobody loves her

And here's the reason why:



She came to the city like a good gal should

Found a little pad in a bad neighborhood

She learned about life and it was quite a shock

But now she knocks 'em down with the best on the block

Ah, right!



Yeah, and it's really a shame too,

'Cause she was her daddy's pride and joy



Daddy, won't you buy that pretty dolly for me?

It's the only toy I ever wanted

Won't you take me for a walk in the park?

I love the big brass band

And the chestnut stand

And that sad old man



'Round and 'round, the years go 'round and 'round

And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound



Now she's down and out, everyone's above her

Tried everything a gal could try

She takes the notion that nobody loves her



Oh, but she's wrong, you know,

Because I love her
