Lyrics

People Make the World Go Round

[Verse 1]

Trash men didn't get my trash today

Oh, why? Because they want more pay

Buses on strike want a raise in fare

So they can help pollute the air

[Chorus]

But that's what makes the world go round

The ups and downs, a carousel

Changing people's heads around

Go underground, young man

People make the world go round

[Verse 2]

Wall Street losin' dough on every share

They're blaming it on longer hair

Big men smokin' in their easy chairs

On a fat cigar without a care

[Chorus]

But that's what makes the world go round

The ups and downs, a carousel

Changing people's heads around

Go underground, young man

People make the world go round

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

But that's what makes the world go round

The ups and downs, a carousel

Changing people's heads around

Go underground, young man

People make the world go round

[Outro]

People make the world go round

People make the world go round

People make the world go round

People make the world go round
