Trashmen 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…
          but that's what makes the world go `round
          the up and down, the carousel
          changing people, they'll go around
          go underground, young man
          people make the world go `round….
Wall street losin' dough on ev'ry share
they're blaming it on longer hair
big men smokin' in their easy chairs
on a fat cigar without a care
          but that's what makes the world go `round
          the up and down, the carousel
          changing people, they'll go around
          go underground, young man
          people make the world go `round…
(instrumental)
          but that's what makes the world go `round
          the up and down, the carousel
          changing people, they'll go around
          go underground, young man
          people make the world go `round
People make the world go `round
people make the world go `round
people make the world go `round… to end!
