 If you're ever in New York...(Is it a girl?)
 If you're ever in New York, there's not very
 many carnivals going on
 And that may not be much, but uh...
 If you're used to a carnival every once in a while
 Then New York doesn't have it
 Then you gotta write a carnival song
 But that don't really make it either
 'Cause what's a song without a carnival?
 
 The  song of love  is a sad  song
 For  we have loved  and it's so
 
 So  come  and  laugh a while Lily
 Come  and join the show
 Hi  lily lily hi
 Lo  lily lily hi
Lo  lily lily hi lo
 
 The circus comes once a year, Lily
 Then we gotta go
 So come and laugh a while Lily
 Come and join the show
 Come dancin', dancin' dance a while
 Come dancin', dancin' dance a while
 Come dancin', dancin' dance a while with me
 Me  me me me  me me me
 Me  me me me  me me
 Me  me me me  me me me
Me  me me me  me me me  ah...

 More? see the people pass Lily
 Don't mind what they say
 Go on and be happy Lily
 They'll just pass away
 Hi lily lily hi
 Lo lily lily hi
 Lo lily lily hi lo
 Don't  let the Italian kids on your block make fun, Lily
 (repeat first verse:)
 (The) song of love is a sad song
 We have loved and it's so
 So come and laugh a while Lily
 Come and join the show
 Hi  lily  hi lily
 
 Hi  lily lo
