Lyrics: Thom Bell, Linda Creed
Music: Thom Bell, Linda Creed
Played by Jerry Garcia with Merl Saunders, I think always as an instrumental.
DeadBase confuses it with Till The End Of The World Rolls Round.
It was originally recorded by the Stylistics in 1971, and covered by Michael Jackson (with slightly changed lyrics) a year later.
Trash men didn't get my trash today
Oh, why, because they want more pay
Buses on strike, wanna raise in fare
So they can help pollute the air
Chorus
But that's what makes the world go round
The up and downs a carousel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go round
Wall Street losin' on every share
They're blamin' it on longer hair
Big men smokin' in their easy chair
On a fat cigar without a care
[chorus]
[chorus]
People make the world go round
People make the world go round
People make the world go round
People make the world go round
