THE MERRY-GO-ROUND BROKE DOWN

Daffy Duck

"The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" is better know as the Looney Toons theme song. It's actually a humorous love song about a young man on a date who finds time to steal a kiss when the merry-go-round malfunctions. It was first performed by Daffy Duck in his second cartoon feature called Daffy Duck and Egghead which came out in 1938.

You'll love the way the bears at The Teddy Bear Monastery™ perform this song - and here are the words so you can sing along.

Oh the merry-go-round broke down, As we went 'round and 'round.
Each time 'twould miss we'd steal a kiss, While the merry-go-round went,
Um-pah-pah, Um-pah-pah,
Um-pah, Um-pah, Um-pah-pah.

The merry-go-round broke down, And made the darndest sound.
The light went low, we both said, "Oh." And the merry-go-round went,
Um-pah-pah, Um-pah-pah,
Um-pah, Um-pah, Um-pah-pah.

Oh, what fun, a wonderful time.
Finding love for only a dime.

The merry-go-round broke down, But you don't see me frown.
Things turned out fine and now she's mine, 'Cause the merry-go-round went,

Um-pah-pah, Um-pah-pah,
Um-pah, Um-pah, Um-pah-pah.
Um-pah-pah, Um-pah-pah,
Um-pah, Um-pah, Um-pah-pah.

The merry-go-round broke down.
