The Greatest Show On Earth Lyrics - Strangelove

Mary Poppins killed a dream today 

Locked it up and threw the key away 

It was a very old and dusty dream 

Everybody knows - 

There's no time for happiness today 

Got a date for lunch a PLASTIC TRAY 

Got a deal to sign her life away 

Got an early grave she's gotta make 

And we are all insane 

Hold on 

Slow down 

You'll never get to heaven on this merry-go-round 

Turn on 

Turn round 

You know you're going nowhere 

If you keep on going round 

The merry-go-round 

Christopher Robin blew his friends away 

Wrapped 'em up and moved up Barnsley way 

Got a job he's milking PLASTIC TRAYS 

Got a line in filling early graves 

Round and round and round and round he goes 

Where he stops well no-one seems to know why 

They've forgotten just what he could be 

He's the same the same as you and me 

We are all insane 

Hold on 

Slow down 

You'll never get to heaven on this merry-go-round 

Turn on 

Turn round 

You know you're going nowhere 

If you keep on going round 

The merry-go-round 

The merry-go-round 

Where you go-there you go-round 

Go on 

Slow down 

You'll never get to heaven on this merry-go-round 

Turn on 

Turn round 

You know you're going nowhere 

If you keep on going round 

The merry-go-round 

La la la la etc.
