Lyrics
Bubbasaur:

Step right up, gather 'round, don't be shy

Something magical is in the air, oh my!

The lights are shining, colors bright and bold

It's a carnival adventure, let the story unfold

All: We're going to the carnival, oh what a thrill

Where dreams come alive and time stands still

With laughter and joy, we'll dance and play

Come join the fun, it's a perfect day

Kieran:

Carousel spinning, horses up and down

Round and round, we'll chase away our frowns

Torrie:

Ferris wheel towering, reaching for the sky

We'll soar above the world, feeling oh so high

Stephanie:

Cotton candy melting on our tongues so sweet

Bean:

Giggles and screams on the roller coaster's beat

Henry:

Games of skill and chance, prizes to be won

Angelita:

We'll try our luck until the day is done

All:

We're going to the carnival, oh what a thrill

Where dreams come alive and time stands still

With laughter and joy, we'll dance and play

Come join the fun, it's a perfect day

Almo:

Clowns and acrobats, they're putting on a show

Memo:

Jugglers and magicians, watch them come and go

Ginger:

The music fills the air, a festive serenade

Lizzie:

We'll dance to the rhythm, let worries fade

Deedee Doodle:

Carousel spinning, lights sparkling bright

Rooney Doodle:

Ferris wheel turning, stars in the night

Moe Doodle:

Together we'll create memories so grand
