People... ('Round and 'round and around...)
  People make the world go 'round
  ('Round and 'round and around...)
  
  Teachers on strike, no more school today
  They want more money but the board won't pay
  People
  Everybody's talkin' 'bout ecology
  The air's so polluted that it's hard to breathe
  People
  
  Rrefrain
  But that's what makes the world go round
  The ups and downs a carousel
  Changing people's heads around
  Go underground young men...
  People make the world go round...
  
  Old folks judge you by the clothes you wear
  They'd swear you're a hippy if you have long hair
  Young politicians fight for poverty
  While people still cry for equality
  
  Refrain
  But that's what makes the world go round
  The ups and downs a carousel
  Changing people's heads around
  Go underground young men...
  People make the world go round...
  
  (Instrumental)
  
  Refrain
  But that's what makes the world go round
  The ups and downs a carousel
  Changing people's heads around
  Go underground young men...
  People make the world go round...
