Topsy Turvy |
| Daddy’s in the kitchen fryin' sauerkraut |
| Momma’s in the bedroom nearly all cried out |
| Daddy thinks that whiskey makes him big and smart |
| Momma thinks that daddy’s got a concrete heart |
| I wish I had a brother or a sister whom to I could turn |
| Bustin' out the windows with a baseball bat |
| Daddy’s gone crazy as a bunkhouse rat |
| Momma’s on the sofa with a big black eye |
| I cross my heart and tell myself I hope they die |
| I wish I had a nickel now for every time a cuss word flew |
| Mad house all topsy turvy |
| A ship of fools with scurvy |
| I don’t like a thing about the way we live |
| Momma’s on the pavement with a broken arm |
| Tellin' everybody that he meant no harm |
| Talk about denial with a great big D |
| You can try to fool the neighbors but you can’t fool me |
| I wish some kind of millionaire would come adopt me on the spot |
| Mad house all topsy turvy |
| A ship of fools with scurvy |
| I don’t like a thing about the way we live |
| Police knock on our door |
| They’ve seen it all before |
| Why don’t you use restraint |
| We’ve had a few complaints |
| Now all the other women up and down the block |
| Are tuning out the static with a front door lock |
| They greet us in the morning with a wave and grin |
| But you know they’re only waiting til lthe roof caves in |
| I don’t even know if we can make it through another day |
| Mad house all topsy turvy |
| A ship of fools with scurvy |
| I don’t like a thing about the way we live |
| I don’t like a thing about the way we live |
| I don’t like a thing about the way we live |
| I don’t like nothing |
| I don’t like a thing about the way we live |
| I don’t like nothing |
| I don’t like a thing about the way we live |
| I don’t like nothing |
