Me, I'm like Marcel
_____
I give him a leg up
_____
So he can cross time
I'll tell him about the 4Ls
_____
And Cerdan's right hooks
_____
That I sing to him as I put him to sleep
_____
C'mon, play kid, play kid
_____
C'mon, play kid, play kid
You'll have plenty of time
_____
C'mon, play kid, play kid
_____
Your hand on my cheek, it's soothing
_____
And may the wind take you
_____
And may time teach you
_____
Wherever the wind takes you
_____
I'll teach you the vowels
_____
You, you'll read Pagnol's novels, you know, Marcel
You've already got the accent
_____
I'll make your life beautiful
_____
You're part of my clan
_____
You'll sing this little tune
_____
One day, maybe, to your kids
_____
C'mon, play kid, play kid
_____
C'mon, play kid, play kid
You'll have plenty of time
_____
C'mon, play kid, play kid
_____
Your hand on my cheek, it's soothing
And may the wind take you
_____
And may time teach you
_____
Wherever the wind takes you
_____
And may the wind take you
_____
And may time teach you
_____
Wherever the wind takes you
_____
Life is a carousel
_____
That dances, spins in the wind
_____
There's carousels, caravels
_____
Sometimes you rise, sometimes you fall
_____
Life is a carousel
_____
Don't pick the prettiest one
_____
But the one you really like
_____
And may the wind take you
_____
And may time teach you
_____
Wherever the wind takes you
And may the wind take you
_____
And may time teach you
_____
Wherever the wind takes you
