As recorded by Deanna Durbin
with Victor Young & His Orch:

Round and round and round and round the turntable goes
And on comes a tune that you feel in your toes
On and on and on and on the disk jockey plays
And most every song has the same old phrase

"I love you!", how d'you like to hear that all day long
And not in a song, but in a sigh, so would I
Well that's the dream I'm dreamin' while the turntable goes
Round and round and round and round and round

(Orchestral Break)

Round and round and round and round the turntable goes
To play a request for the gang down at Joe's
Then for Gwen and Brenda there's a blue number played
And for Mack and Jack, Scubert's Serenade

Debussy
Gives a lady named Lucy her kicks
And three lonely chicks
Want something sweet with a beat

While crooners croon and swooners swoon the turntable goes
Round and round and round, round and round and round
And Bill kisses Mabel while the platter on the table
Goes spinnin' round and round

As performed by Deanna Durbin
in the film "Something In The Wind":


Round and round and round and round the turntable goes
And on comes a tune that you feel in your toes
On and on and on and on the disk jockey plays
And most every song has the same old phrase

"I love you!", how d'you like to hear that all day long
And not in a song, but in a sigh, so would I
Well that's the dream I'm dreamin' while the turntable goes
Round and round and round and round and round!

Time has wings and all good things must come to a close
But tune in again any morning at ten
I'll be smiling with you while the turntable goes
Round and round and round, round and round and round
I'll make with the patter and the chatter
While the platter goes spinning round and round
