Turning Turtle |
If you ring with something broken on a Thursday |
I’ll make new, with my glue, pins and thread |
What you bring -- when I’ve awoken -- on a Friday |
I will mend and then spend the day in bed |
Children, Satur, Sun and Mondays are just everything is fun days |
But in the second week, I wear a frown |
For, I know that after Tuesday comes the Topsy get’s bad news day |
It’s the dreaded second Wednesday |
When from 9 to noon, my life turns upside down |
Fast is slow, low is high, stop is go and that is why |
Every second Wednesday is a hurdle |
From 8 to 9, all is well |
Then I roll over on my shell |
And all because the world is turning turtle |
Day is night, dog is cat, black is white, thin is fat |
That is why I’m loosening up my girdle |
I cannot help this charming troop |
Don’t mock me, 'cause I’m in the soup |
And why? |
Because the world is turning turtle |
Oh, woe is me, I’m as opposite as I can be |
I long for Thursdays when the world is drab |
When will it cease? |
Now my life resembles War and Peace |
That Tolstoy certainly had the gift of gab, I couldn’t get through it! |
Bottom’s top, yin is yang, peace and quiet’s Sturm und Drang |
Tuesday nights, my blood begins to curdle |
East is west, in is out, and that is why I need to shout |
«Oh no!» |
The world is turning turtle |
Oh, if you had come some other morn' |
You wouldn’t have found me so forlorn |
But, since the day that I was born |
Second Wednesdays is on the fritz |
I couldn’t mend this to save my soul |
If this keeps up, I’ll dig a hole |
You say life’s a cherry bowl |
But Wednesday’s full of pits |
Tell us, can you fix this drum? |
Well, today it’s looking glum |
Can you mend this crack? |
And broken string? |
Perhaps, if you all lend a hand |
Our fingers are at your command |
A broken songbird still can sing |
Let’s do the turtle swing! |
Oh, woe is me |
Now I’m on my head! |
How can that be? |
Well you say woe, but I say lucky you |
Lucky me? |
Yes. |
Here on your head, «A» is far behind and led by Zed |
It’s good to get a different point of view |
You see, when the world turns upside down, the best thing is turn right along |
with it |
I do see! |
From down here, things look right side up, hahaha! |
I wouldn’t mind seeing things from that angle |
Sounds like fun |
Can we? |
Very well. |
Flippity flop |
Near is |
Far is |
Here is |
There! |
Turtles turning everywhere! |
Things are getting clear |
Well, knock on wood, my dear! |
When you change the view from where you stood |
The things you view will change for good |
I never thought of things that way |
She never thought of things that way |
Now Wednesdays are my favorite day |
Now Wednesdays are her favorite day |
'Cause that’s the day I’m quite contrary |
And now, thanks to cousin Mary |
I have changed- to be exact |
I love the fact |
The world is turning turtle, turtle, turtle! |
