Tekst Utworu

[Verse 1]
Turning turtle? What exactly does that mean?
It means my whole world goes flippity flop
Like a turtle on its back
And I don't know my up from my down
My east from my west
My topsy from my bottomsy
[Verse 2]
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 nine to noon, my life turns upside down
[Verse 3]
Fast is slow, low is high, stop is go and that is why
Every second Wednesday is a hurdle
From eight to nine, all is well, then I roll over on my shell
And all because the world is turning turtle
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Tell us, can you fix this drum?
Well, today is looking glum
Can you mend this crack and broken string?
Then, perhaps, if you all lend a hand
Our fingers are at your command
A broken song, but still can sing, let's do the turtle swing
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
You see, when the world turns upside down, the best thing is to turn right along with it
I do see!
From down here, things look right side up!
I wouldn't mind seeing things from that angle
Sounds like fun!
Can we?
Very well, flippity flop
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
I never thought of things that way, she never thought of things that way
Now Wednesdays are my favorite day, now Wednesdays are our 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 that world is turning turtle
[Verse 13]
