[Verse 1]
I don't know, i don't care
All i did, was pay my fare
I don't need, in or out
Alexander's Roundabout!
Alexander's Roundabout!
[Pre-Chorus]
(The one i [???] before my eyes, are running around in space!)
(They are all staying around, running without a trace!)
[Chorus]
(Alexander's Roundabout! Singin' if I can try!)
(The challenge is anew again, two but you and I!)
(Two but you and I!)
[Verse 1]
I don't know, i don't care
All i did, was pay my fare
I don't need, in or out
Alexander's Roundabout!
Alexander's Roundabo-oo-out, ooo-out!
