lyrics

The clock in the kitchen
Strikes the hour two minutes too slow
Yesterday’s children
Sleep tonight, tomorrow they grow
Into men and women
Who fall in love and raise kids of their own
So ring-around Rosie
Promise you’ll take me home

The carousel is busted
The cracks appeared several years ago
Rained on and rusted
And painted red so maybe it don’t show
And all the pretty horses
Wildereyed and beat
With paint peeled off
And scars underneath
Ain’t strong enough Rosie
To carry me all the way home
Ain’t strong enough Rosie
To carry me all the way home

Ring-a-ring-a-rosie
Pockets full of posies
