1. TOPSY TURVY LAND (POEM)
H.E.WILKINSON

2. TOPSY-TURVY LAND The people walk upon their heads,
The sea is made of sand,
The children go to school by night,
In Topsy-turvy land.

3. You’re walking when you stand, You wear your hat upon your feet,
The front-door step is at the back,
You’re walking when you stand,
You wear your hat upon your feet,
In Topsy-turvy Land.

4. And buses on the sea you’ll meet, While pleasure boats are planned,
To travel up and down the streets
Of Topsy-turvy Land.

For when you go you’re coming back,
In topsy-turvy land.
