Text
[Intro]
Step right up
Step right in
Spinning colors
Let it begin (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Glitter on my sneakers
Tickets in my hand
Laughing as we zigzag
Through the midway stands
You pull me to the teacups
Say “don’t you dare let go”
We’re tipping
We’re twisting
We’re screaming
“one more roll!”
[Chorus]
Cotton Candy Carousel
Round and round
We lose ourselves
Hearts go up like fireworks
Spinning till the whole world blurs
Cotton Candy Carousel
Taste the sugar
Hear the bells
Every laugh a wishing well
On this cotton candy carousel
[Verse 2]
Photo in the photo booth
Half-blink
Half-grin
You’ve got stripe-face paint
I’ve got glitter on my chin
We race toward the ferris wheel
Breathless in the line
Your hand finds my fingers
Click—the sky is mine
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[call-and-response]
You say
“One more ride?” (one more ride!)
I say
“All night long!” (all night long!)
We trade every doubt
For another loud song
Lights fade to streaks
But we’re still bright
Two kids on a spin
That might change our lives
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Step right up
Step right in
Spinning colors
Let it begin (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Glitter on my sneakers
Tickets in my hand
Laughing as we zigzag
Through the midway stands
You pull me to the teacups
Say “don’t you dare let go”
We’re tipping
We’re twisting
We’re screaming
“one more roll!”
[Chorus]
Cotton Candy Carousel
Round and round

Hearts go up like fireworks
Spinning till the whole world blurs

[Chorus]
Musikstyle
Bright carnival pop with brass hits, marching-band snares, and bouncy organ. Female vocals riding a playful, fast tempo; verses stay tight and rhythmic, chorus explodes with gang shouts and claps. Add call-and-response ad-libs and a short trombone/clarinet break before the final hook.
