'Round and 'round, the years go 'round and 'round 
And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound… 

Now she's down and out, everyone's above her 
Tried everything a gal could try 
She takes the notion that nobody loves her 
And here's the reason why: 

She came to the city like a good gal should 
Found a little pad in a bad neighborhood 
She learned about life and it was quite a shock 
But now she knocks 'em down with the best on the block 
Ah, right! 

Yeah, and it's really a shame too, 
'Cause she was her daddy's pride and joy 

Daddy, won't you buy that pretty dolly for me? 
It's the only toy I ever wanted 
Won't you take me for a walk in the park? 
I love the big brass band 
And the chestnut stand 
And that sad old man 

'Round and 'round, the years go 'round and 'round 
And many a dream is lost in the nasty city sound… 

Now she's down and out, everyone's above her 
Tried everything a gal could try 
She takes the notion that nobody loves her 

Oh, but she's wrong, you know, 
Because I love her
