Kurt Deutsch - Topsy Turvy, Pt. 2 lyrics

[CLOPIN, spoken] And now, ladies and gentlemen, the piece de resistance! (sung) Here it is The moment you've been waiting for Here it is You know exactly what's in store Now's the time We laugh until our sides get sore Now's the time We crown the King of Fools So make a face That's horrible and frightening Make a face As gruesome as a gargoyle's wing For the face that's ugliest Will be the King of Fools Why? [CONGREGATION] Topsy Turvy [CLOPIN] Ugly folks, forget your shyness [CONGREGATION] Topsy Turvy [CLOPIN] You could soon be called 'Your Highness' [CONGREGATION] Put your foulest features on display Be the King on Topsy Turvy Topsy Turvy [ESMERALDA, spoken] Aren't you going to join in the competition? ...My God... [CONGREGATION] Topsy Turvy [ESMERALDA, spoken] Oh...wouldn't you like to be crowned King for a day? [CONGREGATION] Topsy Turvy [ESMERALDA, spoken] Why not take advantage of what you've got? [CONGREGATION, various, spoken] My God, he's hideous! Is that a mask? It's his face! He's the devil! Impossible! You're cursed! [CLOPIN, spoken] Ladies and gentlemen! We're in luck. We asked for the ugliest face in Paris, and we've found him, eh? Quasimodo - the Hunchback of Notre Dame! (sung) Everybody - [CONGREGATION] Once a year we throw a party here in town [CLOPIN] Hail to the King [CONGREGATION] Once a year we turn all Paris upside-down [CLOPIN] Oh, what a King [CONGREGATION] Once a year the ugliest will wear a crown [CLOPIN] Girls, give a kiss [CONGREGATION] Once a year On Topsy-Turvy Day [CLOPIN] We've never had a King like this [CONGREGATION] And it's a day we do the things that we deplore On the other three hundred and sixty four Once a year we love to drop in Where the beer is never stoppin' For the chance to pop some popinjay And crown a King that put's the top in Topsy Turvy Day Mad and crazy Upsy-daisy Topsy Turvy Day Hey!
