TV's Kyle feat. Insane Ian - Carousel

from Yet Another B​-​Side Collection by Insane Ian

/

about

From TV's Kyle's "Plastic Breach" album. Kyle did the music, but asked Insane Ian to write all the lyrics, not just to his guest verse, but for the entire song.

lyrics

1
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and up and down

There's a local fair every summer night
Where the kids all play upon the fair ground rides
Roller coasters rock and the swings have height
But the carousel is the fairground pride

Now the kids all said that the ride was cursed
They always claimed that it was the worst
Well we didn't believe 'em, so with eager lips pursed
My pal Harris and I hit the carousel first

Round and around and around and around
Round and around and up and down

All the girlies laughed and thought our hair was swell
As we spun around and smelled that summer fair smell

Round and around and around and around
Round and around and up and down

But the fun was done when ol' Harris fell
When he tripped and stumbled off the carousel

2
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and up and down

Ever since that day he's never been the same
Harris once was cool but today he's totes lame
I think that when he fell it affected his brain
'Cause I fear that Harris may have gone insane

He likes to take long walks, tho he wears no clothes
He talks to dolphins all day, but he speaks in prose
He has taken to naming every one of his toes
And the tattoo on his face says Eat At Joe's

Round and around and around and around
Round and around and up and down

But he doesn't seem to mind, near as I can tell
And his ping pong addiction knows no parallel

Round and around and around and around
Round and around and up and down

Tho what happened that day t'weren't the fairest spell
Harris seems happy he rode the carousel

Rap Bridge
So, how could this be, your poor hapless buddy
Now acts like a freak if something brushes his knee
He can't be contained, it's simply profane
How he wanders around town yelling "choo choo" like a train
I guess that he's happy, he known through Cincinnati
As the guy who always manages to have fistfuls of taffy
But I swear to the sources, you know this of courses
He'll always be this way since the spinning ride with the horses

3
So my pal named Harris might just be stuck
When we rode that ride was how he changed his luck
Well at least he's not boring like some old lame duck
But he's convinced that chickens are called "loud mouth'd schnuks"

Round and around and around and around
Round and around and up and down

So he has no fears, nor no cares as well
So I guess it's fine that ol' Harris fell

Round and around and around and around
Round and around and up and down

But I'll tell you the same I told that Paris belle
Stay away from the curse of the carousel

Round and around and around and around
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and up and down
