If you're ever in New York...(Is it a girl?) 
If you're ever in New York, there's not very 
Many carnivals going on 
And that may not be much, but uh... 
If you're used to a carnival every once in a while 
Then New York doesn't have it 
Then you gotta write a carnival song 
But that don't really make it either 
'Cause what's a song without a carnival? 

The song of love is a sad song 
For we have loved and it's so 
So come and laugh a while Lily 
Come and join the show 
Hi lily lily hi 
Lo lily lily hi 
Lo lily lily hi lo 

The circus comes once a year, Lily 
Then we gotta go 
So come and laugh a while Lily 
Come and join the show 
Come dancin', dancin' dance a while 
Come dancin', dancin' dance a while 
Come dancin', dancin' dance a while with me 

Me me me me me me me ... 

More? see the people pass Lily 
Don't mind what they say 
Go on and be happy Lily 
They'll just pass away 
Hi lily lily hi 
Lo lily lily hi 
Lo lily lily hi lo 

Don't let the Italian kids on your block make fun, Lily 

(The) song of love is a sad song 
We have loved and it's so 
So come and laugh a while Lily 
Come and join the show 

Hi lily hi lily 
Hi lily lo
