Topsyturvey-World - Natalie Merchant

If the butterfly courted the bee*

And the owl the porcupine

If churches were built in the sea

And the three times one was nine

Then the world would be Upside-Down, yes

The world would be Upside-Down

What a topsy turvy world this would be

The world would be Upside-Down, yeah

The world would be Upside-Down

If the pony rode his master

And if buttercups ate the cows

If the cat had the dire disaster

To be worried by the mouse

Then the world would be Upside-Down, yes

The world would be Upside-Down

What a topsy turvy world this would be

The world would be Upside-Down, yeah

The world would be Upside-Down

The world would be Upside-Down, yeah

The world would be Upside-Down

If mama sold the baby

To a gypsy for half a crown

If a gentleman was a lady

Then the world would be Upside-Down

And the world would be Upside-Down, yes

The world would be Upside-Down

What a topsy turvy world this would be

The world would be Upside-Down, yeah

The world would be Upside-Down

The world would be Upside-Down, yeah

The world would be Upside-Down

And if any or all of these wonders

Should ever come about

I consider them blunders, no

I should be Inside-Out

Yeah I should be Inside-Out

The world would be Upside-Down, yeah

The world would be Upside-Down

The world would be Upside-Down, yeah

The world would be Upside-Down

The world would be Upside-Down, yeah

The world would be Upside-Down

The world would be Upside-Down, yeah

The world would be Upside-Down

Just imagine

The owl and the porcupine

Churches were built in the sea

If the butterfly courted the bee

The owl and the porcupine

If churches were built in the sea

The three times one was nine

Just imagine

Three times one was nine

If the butterfly courted the bee

The owl and the porcupine

If churches were built in the sea

The three times one was nine

If the pony rode his master

Then the world would be Upside-Down

Upside-Down

I mean really Upside-Down
