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! |
