Karaoké Topsy Turvy Le Bossu de Notre-Dame

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

Ha ha ha

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

Topsy turvy

Everything is upsy daysy

Topsy turvy

Everyone is acting crazy

Dross is gold and weeds are a 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 sixth of Januervy

All because it's Topsy Turvy

Day

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

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 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

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 your 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

Mad and crazy

Upsy-daisy

Topsy Turvy Day
