Lyrics

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 that 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 our bouquet
 That's the way on Topsy Turvy Day
 Topsy Turvy
 Beat the drums and blow the trumpets
 Topsy Turvy
 Join the bums and thieves 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
 To 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
 You'll remember last year's King
 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 folks, 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
 It's 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
