Birds are singing in the trees 
 As we rise up on a beautiful morning 
 But I can't hear 
 That beautiful sound 
 Because I'm permanently yawning 

 What about the time of the fancy dress 
 When you came dressed as your mum 
 And there I was splendid in my penguin suit 
 So scared to show my bill 

 You must have been listening to your Carousel 
 Your Carousel, that Carousel 

 Remember the time 
 When I turned the house into a rocket ship 
 And you refused to come to Mars 
 You said "It's too far" 
 You had to be back by six to watch your Carousel 
 Saturn's much too far 
 You had to watch Carousel (What's going on in there?) 

 When we first met 
 I asked you for your hand 
 I didn't really mean that hand 
 I meant join hands 
 Bake phallic cake (Bake phallic cake) 
 Carry round sticky tape 
 And love those devil dogs 
 Be an Indian elephant (Be an Indian elephant) 
 Bait straight people 
 But you must have missed my wink 
 You must have missed my wink 

 (I love you, 
 But you're boring, you know, 
 I really do love you 
 But you're so particularly boring) 

 Maybe you were too busy listening to Carousel 
 watching Carousel, living Carousel 
 You were listening to Carousel 
 You were watching Carousel
