Doctor Cotton-Tail jumped out from under the merry-go-round and said,

"A-riding, too, I'd like to go,
Though I may take a nap or so."

Grandpa Grumbles said cheerfully,

"You'll take no nap when with us you go,
We may ride too fast, but never slow!"

Doctor Cotton-Tail took a seat in the merry-go-round.

The music began to play and they went round, and round, and round, faster and faster. Bunny began to talk about his fur and whiskers. Susan began to talk about her buttons. Grandpa Grumbles shouted,

"I'm just as happy as I can be,
The Circus life is the life for me."

Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes jumped down from the merry-go-round and danced this way and danced that way, and for all I know they are dancing yet!
