I went into a sort of house
And watched some sort of wheels go round,
They were the hugest kind of wheels
And made a pleasant sort of sound.

It was a gayly lighted place
With many windows near the top,
The wheels kept going round and round,
It didn't seem they'd ever stop.

It was the strangest sort of house
All full of numbers set in glass
And thoughtful men all dressed in blue
And shining dials and things of brass.

I walked up to a man in blue,
I stopped the man in blue and said,
What makes the shining wheels go round?
The fellow shook his snowy head:

What makes the shining wheels go round?
I asked the oldest man in blue;
He took a peice of chalk he had
And wrote a number bright and new.

He brought a little book he had,
He took the book and in it read,
What makes the shining wheel go round?
The Wheelgorounding one is dead.

The Wheelgorounding one is dead?
I took the little book and Oh
I found myself all dressed in blue
And as I looked my hair turned snow.
