Lyrics
In the beginning when God was only one
He’d play in waves of infinite recreation,
He’d say, “Let us have a way of cleaning up after our fun.”
He’d pinch out a puka from the universal ball
And from its clay shape every creature great and small,
Breathe life in, “Ha”. How they’d spin and rise and fall
In da puka! Where you from! (x3)
And He’d see it was good and really be impressed,
Move to Hawaii as the locals might have guessed
To ride the tide and tidy up the rest
In da puka! Where you from! (x6)
The merry-go-round was love
And it began to rise above.
Two by two all the animals flew,
And the merry-go-round was love.
Earth put on a show
And everything below
From pole to pole began to roll,
And the merry-go-round was love.
Oceans waved and continents danced.
We “oo”-ed and “ah”-ed and “looky-no-hands”-ed.
And when we finally parked,
All the animals disembarked,
But we stayed in for another spin,
Because the merry-go-round was love. (x3)
