This song was written for Candide, but was replaced by "Dear Boy" before rehearsals started. "Dear Boy" was ultimately cut as well, but has been restored in some later versions of Candide. "Ringaroundarosy" has also been restored in some later versions of Candide, though it's usually not listed as a separate number but is incorporated into the "Auto-da-Fé" sequence.

 

The lyric is by John Latouche.
