Down and down she goes, oh Amanda Jones
I said down and down and down and down
She'd look really lovely at home
‘Til somebody gonna 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 grow
Don't wanna 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 just got to find someone who'll really pull your family through
Up and up she goes, oh 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 all pointing right down at 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 show
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...
