Carnival

 

Pretty eyes, he said to you,
let's get tickets
let's get two
let's get on the tilt-a-whirl
then watch the house of mirrors swirl

Pretty lips, he said to me,
let's get tickets
let's get three
let's get on the zipper wheel
then watch the house of mirrors reel

Pretty here and pretty there!
Aren't we such
a pretty pair?
Pick a pretty, make a pass
(just be careful of the glass)

Pretty that and pretty this!
Come in closer
for a kiss
(now we're double, now we're half)
and watch the house of mirrors laugh.
