Pretty girl of 16 Has fun and runs crazy Ruined girl of 16 Now a mother, grows lazy Next a 16-year old baby Like mother, grows lazy And her stomach is churning Whilst her eyes keep on turning Round and around Getting no higher From the ground Round and around Round and around The circle has an empty sound Father inflicts discipline Boy rebels against him He leaves for the big town For love and adventure But the words he first heard Unlike his instincts, run deeper Now boy beats his children If they disobey him And the cat riddled with worms Chases his tail round And around Round and around Getting no higher From the ground Round and around Round and around The circle has an empty sound The endless full circle For the next in line The endless full circle Take the red line The green line The silver or blue Any line you can think of Except for the yellow Take a trip with your family And see where they go Give them a free ticket It's the best thing to do And if you wind up on the circle line Hell, it's not from lack of options Then if you run into the yellow Well, that's up to you Round and around Getting no higher From the ground Round and around The circle has an empty sound The endless full circle For the next in line The endless full circle Are you the next in line? Round and around
