My lit-tle red top,
-4  -1   2   3  -4   3    2
See how you got me spin-ning,
3   3    -5    3    -3*
Go-ing ‘round and ‘round
-4 -1   2    3   -4   3
And I don’t want to stop
  -4    3  2  1  2  3  -5   5* 5  -4
You’ve got me so if I don’t go a-round
-1   3   -3  3   3
I’m sure gon-na drop, 
-3  3   3    -3  3   3
gon-na drop, gon-na drop

-3  3  -4  -4   -1  2    3   -4   3    2
So red top you just go right on spin-ning
3    -5    3    -3*
Go ‘round and ‘round
-4   -1    2  3  -4   3
And don’t you ev-er stop
-4  3   2   1   2   3   -5   5  5  -4
Re-mem-ber that if you don’t go a-round
 -1    3   -3  3   3
We’re sure gon-na drop, 
-3  3   3    -3  3   3
gon-na drop, gon-na drop
