[Intro] Round and round and round we go [Verse 1] If you aint got two kids by 21 Youre probably gonna die alone At least thats what tradition told you And it dont matter if you dont believe Come Sunday morning you best be There in the front row, like youre sposed to Same hurt in every heart Same trailer, different park [PreChorus] Mamas hooked on Mary Kay Brothers hooked on Mary Jane And Daddys hooked on Mary two doors down [Chorus] Mary Mary quite contrary We get bored so we get married And just like dust we settle in this town On this broken merry go round And round and round we go Where it stops nobody knows And it aint slowin down This merry go round [Verse 2] We think the first times good enough So we hold on to high school love Say we wont end up like our parents Tiny little boxes in a row Aint what you want its what you know Just happy in the shoes youre wearin Same checks were always cashed in To buy a little more distraction [PreChorus] Cause Mamas hooked on Mary Kay Brothers hooked on Mary Jane And Daddys hooked on Mary two doors down [Chorus] Mary Mary quite contrary We get bored so we get married And just like dust we settle in this town On this broken merry go round And round and round you go Where it stops nobody knows This merry go round Mary Mary quite contrary Were so bored until were buried And just like dust we settle in this town On this broken merry go round [Outro] Jack and Jill went up the hill Jack burned out on booze and pills And Mary had a little lamb Mary just dont give a care anymore
