Come one, come all

Leave your looms and milking stools,

coop the hens and pen the mules

Come one, come all

Close the churches and the schools

it's the day for breaking rules

Come and join the Feast of.....Fools!



Once a year we throw a party, here in town

Once a year we turn all Paris upside down

Every man's a king and every king's a clown

once again it's Topsy Turvy Day

It's the day the devil in us gets released

It's the day we mock the pig and shock the priest

Everything is topsy turvy at the Feast of Fools



Topsy Turvy



Everything is upsy-daisy



Topsy Turvy



Everyone is acting crazy



Dross is gold and weeds are a bouquet

that's the way on Topsy Turvy Day



Topsy Turvy



Beat the drums and blow the trumpets



Topsy Turvy



Join the bums and theives and strumpets

streaming in from Chartres to Calais



Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy

on the 6th of January

all because it's Topsy Turvy Day



Come one, come all

Hurry, hurry here's your chance,

see the mystery and romance

Come one,come all

See the finest girl in France

make an entrance to entrance

Dance la Esmeralda.......

Dance!!



Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for

Here it is, you know exactly what's in store

Now's the time we laugh until our sides get sore

Now's the time we crown the King of Fools!!



So make a face that's horrible and frightening

make a face as gruesome as a gargoyle's wing

for the face that's ugliest will be the King of Fools

Why?



Topsy Turvy



Ugly folk, forget your shyness



Topsy Turvy



You could soon be called "Your Highness"



Put the foulest features on display

Be the king of Topsy Turvy Day

Everybody



Once a year we throw a party, here in town

Once a year we turn all Paris upside down

Once a year the ugliest will wear a crown

Once a year on Topsy Turvy Day



Hail to the king

Oh, what a king

Girls, give a kiss

We've never had a king like this



And its the day we do the things that we deplore

on the other three hundred and sixty-four

Once a year we love to drop in, where the beer is never stoppin'

For the chance to pop some popinjay

And pick a king who'll put the top in Topsy Turvy Day

Topsy Turvy

Mad and crazy,upsy-daisy,Topsy Turvy Day
