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. If you wring me something broken on a Thursday I'll make new with my glue, pins and threads But you bring when I'm a-walkin' on a Friday I will mend and then spend the day in bed Children, Saddleson 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 gets bad news day And that's the dreaded second Wednesday When from nine to noon my life turns upside down If 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 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 trope, don't mock me Cause I'm in the soup and why? Because the world is turning turtle How is me? I'm as opposite as I can be I long for Thursdays when the world is drab Then we will insist now my life resembles war and peace That Tolstoy certainly had the gift of gab, I couldn't get through it Bottoms up, in is young, peace and quiet, storm on drag Tuesday nights my blood begins to kill, go East is west, in is out, and that is why I need to shout, go, go The world is turning turtle Oh, if you had come some other morn You wouldn't have found me so forlorn But since the day that I was born, sacrifices is on the fridge 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 Wednesdays fall a pit Tell us, can you fix this drum? Well, today is looking glam Can you mend this crack and broken string? Well, perhaps if you all lend a hand You think I don't write your command? A broken song I still can sing Let's do the turtle swing TURTLE SWING Oh, boy is mean, now I'm on my head, how can that be? Well, you say woe, but I say lucky you, that's a meal Yes, here on your head, A is far behind and left I said it's good to get a different point of view 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't we? Very well, flippity flop Here is Boris, here is that 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 I never thought of things that way She never thought of things that way Now Wednesdays are my favourite day Now Wednesdays are her favourite day Cos that's the day I'm quite contrary And now, thanks to Kaz and Mary Things have changed, to be exact I love the fact The world is turning Turtles! Turtles! Turtles!
