Roundabouts And Swings

What you lose on the swings You gain on the roundabouts Right here right now You treasure the ride Cos cometh the hour The fat lady sings You lose on the roundabouts and on the swings You lost you a dollar bill But you got a buck for your bang Trust that you never will Know your Ying from your Yang You got the devil on your left hand You got God on your right Oh what a glorious fight What you lose on the swings You gain on the roundabouts Right here right now You treasure the ride Cos cometh the hour The fat lady sings You lose on the roundabouts and on the swings It’s two dozen steps forward And twenty four back You’re stuck on the wrong train But you’re on the right track You’ve got a mountain in front of you But a fair wind behind And it’s blowing your mind What you lose on the swings You gain on the roundabouts Right here right now You treasure the ride Cos cometh the hour The fat lady sings You lose on the roundabouts and on the swings
