MICKEY MARLEY’S ROUNDABOUT
Seamus Robinson © 1976

Mickey Marley had a wee horse –
Kept it at the back of the house of course.
It wouldn't eat grass and it wouldn't eat hay
But it would eat sugar lumps all the day.
Mickey got some wood and wheels for a start
And then he sat down and made a wee cart.
He hammered and he hammered and he footered about
Until he'd built a Roundabout.

( chorus )
Round and round and up and down,
Through the streets of Belfast town
All the children laugh and shout,
Here comes Mickey's Roundabout.

Mickey goes from street to street
A penny a time and take your seat.
A hobby-horse or a motor car
Just jump on and hold the bar.
The children's faces shine with glee
That's what Mickey loves to see.
If you haven't got a penny and your Ma's gone out
You'll still get on his Roundabout
( repeat chorus )

Then alas to his dismay
The Roundabout was burnt one day.
Mickey lost everything he had
And all the children were so sad.
But Mickey's friends all gathered 'round
From every part of Belfast town.
They hammered and they hammered and they footered about
And built him a brand new Roundabout.
( repeat chorus twice )
