Down and down she goes
Amanda Jones

I said down and down and down and down
She'd look really lovely at home
Til somebody going to come up and ask her
To live happily ever after

Miss Amanda Jones


On and on she goes
Little Miss Amanda Jones

I said on and on and on and on
Just watch her as she grows
Don't want to say it very obviously
But she's losing her nobility

Miss Amanda Jones


Hey girl, don't you realize
The money invested in you?

Hey girl, you've just got to find
Someone who'll really pull your family through


Up and up she goes
Amanda Jones

I said up and up and up and up
She looks quite delightfully stoned
She's the darling of the discotheque crowd
Of her lineage she's rightfully proud

Miss Amanda Jones


Hey girl, with your nonsense nose
Pointing right down to the floor

Hey girl, your suspender shows
And the girl behind you looks a bit unsure


Round and round she goes
The world of Amanda Jones

I said round and round and round and round
The balls and the dinners and shows
The little girl she just wanders about
Til it's time for her coming out

Miss Amanda Jones


Round and round and round

Round and round and round

Round and round and round

Round and round and round

Round and round and round

Round and round and round

Round and round and...
