Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Ev’ry time that I go to a fair
I get a thrill, my heart stands still
Have you ever gone up in the air
‘Way up so high?
Then you know why
Chorus
When you go up on the Ferris Wheel
You’ll get a thrill that’s a thrill to feel
For with your sweetheart it’s so grand
You hold her hand
Your heart goes up down, up down
As you whirl around and round
Oh then while you’re up on the Ferris Wheel
Maybe a kiss you will try to steal
You’ll be in Paradise for two
When you go up, down up, down
On the Ferris Wheel
Chorus
When you go up on the Ferris Wheel
You’ll whirl around ’til your senses reel
You’ll never have a grander time for just a dime
Your heart goes up down, up down
As you whirl around and round
Oh then while you’re up nearly touch the sky
She’ll start to scream and begin to cry
And so you kiss her tears away
When you go up, down up, down
On the Ferris Wheel
