People Make the World Go Round 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
[Verse 2]
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
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
[Verse 2]
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 Bridge]
[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
[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
[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
[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
