Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Carousel Waltz
Subject: RE: Lyrics Needed: The Carousel Waltz
Hi - I don't think you're going to find lyrics. I have been proven wrong on occasion, but those were just typographical errors.... As far as I can tell, the "Waltz" from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "Carousel" was strictly an instrumental. If there were words, they were added later, probably by somebody other than Oscar Hammerstein. I don't know if you would want your six-year-old to watch "Carousel." Parts of it might be upsetting. I can't remember now it if was his wife or daughter that the leading male, Billy, beat up - but that abuse might be really tough for your daughter to handle. -Joe Offer-
