Topsy-Turvy
If I lived in Australia,
would my world be upside-down?
If I had a great big smile,
would it look like a frown?
Would the drops fall up
in a rainy downpour?
Would we walk on the ceiling
rather than the floor?
Riding on my bike
might be hard to do.
And how I’d fill the bathtub
I just don’t have a clue!
Living in Australia,
might put my life asunder
in that topsy-turvy place --
The Land Down Under.
would my world be upside-down?
If I had a great big smile,
would it look like a frown?
Would the drops fall up
in a rainy downpour?
Would we walk on the ceiling
rather than the floor?
Riding on my bike
might be hard to do.
And how I’d fill the bathtub
I just don’t have a clue!
Living in Australia,
might put my life asunder
in that topsy-turvy place --
The Land Down Under.
