Van Dyke Parks
Linda
[Verse]
Seven ships without a sail
Seven cats without a tail
Boy, it's weird here on this spooky old pier tonight
But I'm not frightened 'cause I know what it is
Everything is just the same as it was
I'm in trouble because of Linda
She hurt me so badly
She say she'd be here on our special pier, I love her

[Chorus]
Linda, the carousel's playing
But that merry-go-round is bringing me down
'Cause I remember what it meant to you

[Outro]
Linda, Linda
I love you
