## Lyrics

**Chorus**: 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...

**Clopin**: 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 prig and shock the priest

Everything is topsy turvy

At the Feast of Fools

**Chorus**: Topsy Turvy!

**Clopin**: Everything is upsy-daisy!

**Chorus**: Topsy Turvy!

**Clopin**: Everyone is acting crazy!

Dross is gold, and weeds are a bouquet

That's the way of Topsy Turvy Day

(Brief Instrumental)

*Chorus'*: Topsy Turvy!

**Clopin**: Beat the drums and blow the trumpets

**Chorus**: Topsy Turvy!

**Clopin and Chorus**: Join the Bums and thieves and Strumpets

Streaming in from Chartres to Calais

**Clopin**: Scurvy Knaves are extra scurvy

on the sixth of Januvery

**Clopin and Chorus**: All because it's Topsy Turvy Day

**Clopin**: Come one, come all

Hurry, hurry; here's your chance

See the mystery and romance

Come one, come all

See the finest girl in France

Make an entrance to entrance

Dance la Esmeralda...

Dance!

(instrumental)

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!

(spoken) Do you all remember last year's king?

So make a face that's horrible and frightening

Make a face as gruesome as a gargoyle's wing

**Hugo (Spoken)**: HEY!

**Clopin**: For the face that's ugliest will be the King of Fools. Why?

*Chorus'*: Topsy Turvy!

**Clopin**: Ugly folks, forget your shyness

*Chorus'*: Topsy Turvy!

**Clopin**: You could soon be call *Your Highness*

**Chorus:** Put your foulest features on display

**Clopin and Chorus:** Be the king of Topsy Turvy Day

(instrumental)

**Clopin**: Ev-er-y-bo-dy!

**Chorus:** Once a year, we throw a party here in town

**Clopin:** Hail to the king!

**Chorus:** Once a year, we turn all Paris upside down

**Clopin:** Ha ha! Oh, what a king

**Chorus:** Once a year, the ugliest will wear a crown

**Clopin:** Girls, give a kiss

**Chorus:** Once a year on Topsy Turvy Day

**Clopin:** We've never had a king like this

**Clopin and Chorus:** And 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 stopping

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!
