topsyturvey-world

Natalie Merchant

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

If the pony rode his master
If the buttercups ate the cows
If the cat had the dire disaster
To be worried by the mouse
If mama sold the baby

To a gypsy for half a crown
If a gentleman was a lady
The world would be upside-down!
If any or all of these wonders
Should ever come about

I should not consider them blunders
For I should be inside-out!
