[Verse]
If the butterfly courted the bee
And the owl the porcupine
And churches were built in the sea
And if three times one was nine

[Chorus]
Then the world would be upside down, yes
The world would be upside down
What a topsyturvey world this would be
The world would be upside down, yeah
The world would be upside down

[Verse]
If the pony rode it master
And if buttercups ate the cow
If the cat had the dire disaster
To be worried by the mouse

[Chorus]
Then the world would be upside down, yes
The world would be upside down
What a topsyturvey world this would be
The world would be upside down, yeah
The world would be upside down
The world would be upside down, yeah
The world would be upside down
[Verse]
If mama sold the baby
To a gypsy for half a crown
If a gentleman was a lady
The world would be upside down

[Chorus]
Then the world would be upside down, yes
The world would be upside down
What a topsyturvey world this would be
The world would be upside down, yeah
The world would be upside down
The world would be upside down, yeah
The world would be upside down

[Verse]
If any or all of these wonders
Should ever come about
I should not consider them blunders
For I should be inside-out
I should be inside-out

[Outro]
Then the world would be upside down, yeah
The world would be upside down
Then the world would be upside down, yeah
The world would be upside down
Then the world would be upside down, yeah
The world would be upside down
