mama and papa are dancing in the sun
hey and ho billy boy what a merry-go-round
i am watching clouds and i hum their love
and we all go a-shining in the summer sea

there´s a family picture i am looking at
and we all go a-shining in the summer sea
mama´s hair is curly and papa´s got a hat
hey and ho billy boy what a merry-go-round

they were strangers and my dream is a pack of lies
hey and ho billy boy what a merry-go-round
but fake is just a friendlier bosom of time
and we all go a-shining in the summer sea
