The year was 1971
Trash men didn't get my trash today
Oh why? Because they want more pay
Buses on strike want to raise the fare
So they can help pollute the air
But that's what makes the world go round
The ups and downs of carousels
Changing peoples' heads around
Go underground young man
People make the world go round
People make the world go round
People make the world go round
(Everybody sing along with us)
People make the world go round
People make the world go round (my my people)
People make the world go round (make the world go round and round and round)
People make the world go round
