Donovan — Life Is a Merry-Go-Round

Beneath the weight of the world I can be found Among the chaos and the wheel, scattered all around On the wild windy wave I'm tossed, cast away and lost Now I understand what those sad songs say Make up your mind to be happy Life is a merry-go-round If you miss out this time Don't let it fret your mind Love will come round in the end Make up your mind to be happy Life is a merry-go-round If an' you miss out this time Don't let it fret your mind Love will come round in the end Between the devil and the deep blue we find ourselves Often Out of the frying pan and into, left on the shelf Borne willy nilly here and there when our hearts are full of care Oh my, now we understand what those sad songs say Sad, sad songs they say Make up your mind to be happy Life is a merry-go-round If an' you miss out this time Don't let it fret your mind Love will come round in the end Makin' up your mind to be happy You've gotta make up your mind Makin' up your mind Makin' up your mind Makin' up your mind Makin' up your mind ... Make up your mind to be happy
