Lyric Topsy
Janis solo:
Brothers n sisters listen while I tell you about the strangest thing
Somethin you might have heard before, like a bell s familiar ring
Topsy-thought he had it all covered, Yes sir!
Turvy, he never really had a mind to hear
what Mr. Topsy had to say
It s such a scene
Fightin all the time
They re gettin mean
All the sparks re flyin
Is this a dream?
Makes you wanna cry
I m gonna scream
What s the point?
I wonder why.
Janis solo continued:
My, my, my, my, my people you should know -
these cats ll never get no relief
Turvy, and sweet - Top-sy - it s so pulverizin , paralyzin ;
Doncha know?
(YES YES)
Tim s solo:
Y know I really don t get it
That s the way it always seems to be-dread it
Everytime I come around these cats are always
scrappin
Yappin all about some little fluffy piece of ding a lingin
stain around the elbow
A bit of this, a bit of that - you bet your dollar that the
joint s a hellzapoppin
Man alive!
Topsy s in a fit
Turvy s in a snit
Ain t there anyone here who can put out the fire?
This is the most exasperatin situation tell ya
I ain t-never seen the likes of this one
And I have seen a bunch that ll really make y think
about it
Wait a minute, hold your horses, here they comin now
Oh Mr. Topsy you sure bring me down
Better believe you re spittin the cotton-you are spittin the cotton now
Ah!
And Mr. Turvy your head s no where bound
It s somethin I would rather do without
Ha!
Piano Solo
Ain t you had enough of Topsy Turvy
I ve had more than I can handle n it s tested my patience now
Sick and tired of this crazy scene
I m a little more than sick n tired, oh, I m really wired
There s another way to go about this brother
Won tcha hear me now, got ta dig what I m bout to tell ya
Loving one another s what I mean
-Boy love ll really straighten y out - If you ll only check it out
It s such a scene
Fightin s such a crime
Now, they re gettin mean
Bound t lose their mind
Man, is this a dream?
Wastin so much time
Help! I m gonna scream
Wastin yours
And wastin mine
Topsy Turvey s World is Topsy Turvy
a little lovin might undo it
Just because they can t meet in between
Woe, (oh) Woe (no) Woe (oh) Woe (no) Woe
Woe, Woe, Woe, Woe, Woe
Woe, (oh no) Woe (oh no) Woe (oh no) Woe (oh no)
Woe
Top-sy Tur-vy Top-sy Tur-vy Oooooooh
What a pity.
