Topsy |
| Brothers n' sisters listen while I tell you about the strangest thing |
| Somethin' you might have heard before, like a bell’s familiar ring |
| Topsy-thought he had it all covered, Yes sir! |
| Turvy, he never really had a mind to hear what Mr. Topsy had to say |
| It’s such a scene |
| Fightin' all the time |
| They’re gettin' mean |
| All the sparks’re flyin' |
| Is this a dream? |
| Makes you wanna cry |
| I’m gonna scream |
| What’s the point? |
| I wonder why |
| Janis' solo continued: |
| My, my, my, my, my people you should know — |
| These cats’ll never get no relief |
| Turvy, and sweet — Top-sy — it’s so pulverizin', paralyzin'; |
| Doncha know? |
| (YES YES) |
| Y' know I really don’t get it |
| That’s the way it always seems to be-dread it |
| Everytime I come around these cats are always scrappin' |
| Yappin' all about some little fluffy piece of ding a lingin' |
| Stain around the elbow |
| A bit of this, a bit of that — you bet your dollar that the joint’s a |
| hellzapoppin' |
| Man alive! |
| Topsy’s in a fit |
| Turvy’s in a snit |
| Ain’t there anyone here who can put out the fire? |
| This is the most exasperatin' situation tell ya |
| I ain’t-never seen the likes of this one |
| And I have seen a bunch that’ll really make y' think about it |
| Wait a minute, hold your horses, here they comin' now |
| Oh Mr. Topsy you sure bring me down |
| Better believe you’re spittin' the cotton-you are spittin' the cotton now |
| Ah! |
| And Mr. Turvy your head’s no where bound |
| It’s somethin' I would rather do without |
| Ha! |
| Ain’t you had enough of Topsy Turvy |
| I’ve had more than I can handle n' it’s tested my patience now |
| Sick and tired of this crazy scene |
| I’m a little more than sick n' tired, oh, I’m really wired |
| There’s another way to go about this brother |
| Won’tcha hear me now, got’ta dig what I’m 'bout to tell ya |
| Loving one another’s what I mean |
| -Boy love’ll really straighten y' out — If you’ll only check it out |
| It’s such a scene |
| Fightin’s such a crime |
| Now, they’re gettin' mean |
| Bound t' lose their mind |
| Man, is this a dream? |
| Wastin' so much time |
| Help! |
| I’m gonna scream |
| Wastin' yours |
| And wastin' mine |
| Topsy Turvey’s World is Topsy Turvy |
| A little lovin' might undo it |
| Just because they can’t meet in between |
| Woe, (oh) Woe (no) Woe (oh) Woe (no) Woe |
| Woe, Woe, Woe, Woe, Woe |
| Woe, (oh no) Woe (oh no) Woe (oh no) Woe (oh no) |
| Woe |
| Top-sy Tur-vy Top-sy Tur-vy Oooooooh |
| What a pity |
