Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Trash men didn't get my trash today
Oh, why? Because they want more pay
Buses on strike want a raise in fare
So they can help pollute the air
[Chorus]
But that's what makes the world go round
The ups and downs, a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go round
[Instrumental]
Wall Street losin' dough on every share
They're blaming it on longer hair
Big men smokin' in their easy chairs
On a fat cigar without a care
[Chorus]
But that's what makes the world go round
The ups and downs, a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go round
[Instrumental]
But that's what makes the world go round
The ups and downs, a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go round
[Outro]
People make the world go round
People make the world go round
People make the world go round
People make the world go round
