The Hunchback Of Notre Dame movie - Topsy Turvy lyrics
rate me<br>
Crowd:<br>
Come one, come all!<br>
Leave your loops and milking stools<br>
Coop the hens and pen the mules<br>
Come one, come all!<br>
Close the churches and the schools<br>
It's the day for breaking rules<br>
Come and join the feast of ...<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
Fools!<br>
<br>
Once a year we throw a party here in town<br>
Once a year we turn all Paris upside down<br>
Ev'ry man's a king and ev'ry king's a clown<br>
Once again it's Topsy Turvy Day<br>
It's the day the devil in us gets released<br>
It's the day we mock the prig and shock the priest<br>
Ev'rything is topsy turvy at the Feast of Fools!<br>
<br>
Crowd: <br>
Topsy turvy!<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
Ev'rything is upsy daysy!<br>
<br>
Crowd: <br>
Topsy turvy!<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
Ev'ryone is acting crazy<br>
Dross is gold and weeds are a bouquet<br>
That's the way on Topsy Turvy Day<br>
<br>
All: <br>
Topsy Turvy!<br>
<br>
Clopin and Crowd: <br>
Beat the drums and blow the trumpets<br>
<br>
All: <br>
Topsy Turvy!<br>
<br>
Clopin and Crowd: <br>
Join the bums and thieves and strumpets<br>
Streaming in from Chartres to Calais<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy<br>
On the sixth of "Januervy"<br>
<br>
Clopin and Crowd: <br>
All because it's Topy Turvy Day!<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
Come one, come all!<br>
Hurry, hurry, here's your chance<br>
See the myst'ry and romance<br>
Come one, come all<br>
See the finest girl in France<br>
Make an entrance to entrance<br>
Dance la Esmeralda<br>
Dance!<br>
<br>
Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for<br>
Here it is, you know exactly what's in store<br>
Now's the time we laugh until our sides get sore<br>
Now's the time we crown the King of Fools!<br>
So make a face that's horrible and frightening<br>
Make a face as gruesome as a gargoyle's wing<br>
For the face that's ugliest will be the King of Fools!<br>
Why?<br>
<br>
Crowd: <br>
Topsy turvy!<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
Ugly folk, forget your shyness<br>
<br>
Crowd: <br>
Topsy turvy!<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
You could soon be called Your Highness!<br>
<br>
Crowd: <br>
Put your foulest features on display<br>
Be the king of Topsy Turvy Day!<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
Ev'rybody!<br>
<br>
Crowd: <br>
Once a year we throw a party here in town<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
Hail to the king!<br>
<br>
Crowd: <br>
Once a year we turn all Paris upside down<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
Oh, what a king!<br>
<br>
Crowd: <br>
Once a year, the ugliest will wear a crown<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
Girls, give a kiss<br>
<br>
Crowd: <br>
Once a year on Topsy Turvy Day<br>
<br>
Clopin: <br>
We've never had a king like this<br>
<br>
Clopin and Crowd: <br>
And it's the day we do the things that we deplore<br>
On the other three hundred and sixty-four<br>
Once a year we love to drop in<br>
Where the beer is never stoppin<br>
For the chance to pop some popinjay<br>
And pick a king who'll put the "top" in<br>
Topsy Turvy Day!<br>
Mad and crazy, upsy-daisy, Topsy Turvy Day!<br>
<br>
