Lyrics
Left and right
Like day and night That's what makes the world go round In and out Thin and stout That's what makes the world go round |
For every up there is a down For every square there is a round Merlin: Yep For every high there is a low For every to there is a fro Merlin: Yes fro To and fro Stop and go That's what makes the world go round thick and thin lose or win That's what makes the world go round Arthur: Merlin! Merlin, I-I swallowed a bug! Merlin: Oh, well, what's wrong with that? After all, my boy, you are a fish. Instinct, you know. Arthur: But you said I have no instinct. Merlin: Yes! Oh... oh, I did? Well that's-that's neither here nor there but the main thing is.
You must set your sights upon the heights Don't be a mediocrity Arthur: Mediocrity Merlin: Yes that's right Don't just wait and trust to fate And say, that's how it's meant to be It's up to you how far you go If you don't try you'll never know And so my lad as I've explained Nothing ventured, nothing gained Strong and weak Large and small,That's what makes the world go round Starts and stops short and tall That's what makes the world go round.
Arthur: So don't give up when you are down when you hit the bottom you're upward bound and That's what makes the world go round Ooo, let go, let go! Let go.
