Le Bossu de Notre-Dame

Topsy-Turvy

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 prig and shock the priest
Everything is tospy-turvy at the Feast of Fools

Topsy-turvy, everything is upsy-daisy
Topsy-turvy, everybody's 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
Tospy-turvy, join the bums and thieves and strumpets
Streaming in from Chartes to Calais
Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy on the Sixth of janu-ervy, 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

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 ?

Tospy-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 Tospy-Turvy Day

Once a year, we throw a party here in town		Where fools are king
Once a year, we turn all Paris upside-down		Oh, what a king
Once a year, the ugliest will wear a crown		  Girls, give a kiss
Right here on Topsy-turvy Day				      We've never had a king like this

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 stoppin'
For the chance to pop some popinjay and pick a king who'll put the "top" in

Topsy-turvy... Topsy-turvy
Mad-and-crazy, upsy-daizy, Topsy-turvy Day
