i went to a weekend fair
met someone while i was there
we put flowers in our hair
and rode the wonder wheel
so begins another day
crazy stops along the way
think of funny things to say
and ride the wonder wheel
chorus:
going round and around,
it takes us up and it takes us down
i love the sights and i love the sounds
riding on the wonder wheel
i looked left and i looked right
saw her smile and it was bright
like the sun that kind of light
we're on the wonder wheel
never thought i'd go so high
thought i'd laugh until i cried
i could reach and touch the sky
we're on the wonder wheel
chorus:
now the sun is sinking low
lights of coney island glow
all the best friends that i know
are on the wonder wheel
