Lyrics:
(Mary Poppins Returns Soundtrack) [ANNABEL] Turning turtle? What exactly does that mean? [TOPSY] It means my whole world goes flippity-flop like a turtle on its back. And I don't know my up from my down, my east from my west, my topsy from my bottomsy! If you ring with something broken on a Thursday I'll make new, with my glue, pins and thread What you bring -- when I've awoken -- on a Friday I will mend and then spend the day in bed Children, Satur, Sun and Mondays are just everything is fun days But in the second week, I wear a frown For, I know that after Tuesday comes the Topsy get's bad news day It's the dreaded second Wednesday When from 9 to noon, my life turns upside down Fast is slow, low is high, stop is go and that is why Every second Wednesday is a hurdle From 8 to 9, all is well Then I roll over on my shell And all because the world is turning turtle Day is night, dog is cat, black is white, thin is fat That is why I'm loosening up my girdle I cannot help this charming troop Don't mock me, 'cause I'm in the soup And why? Because the world is turning turtle Oh, woe is me, I'm as opposite as I can be I long for Thursdays when the world is drab When will it cease? Now my life resembles War and Peace That Tolstoy certainly had the gift of gab, I couldn't get through it! Bottom's top, yin is yang, peace and quiet's Sturm und Drang Tuesday nights, my blood begins to curdle East is west, in is out, and that is why I need to shout "Oh no!" The world is turning turtle Oh, if you had come some other morn' You wouldn't have found me so forlorn But, since the day that I was born Second Wednesdays is on the fritz I couldn't mend this to save my soul If this keeps up, I'll dig a hole You say life's a cherry bowl But Wednesday's full of pits [JACK] Tell us, can you fix this drum? [TOPSY] Well, today it's looking glum [JOHN] Can you mend this crack? [ANNABEL] And broken string? [TOPSY] Perhaps, if you all lend a hand [JACK and CHILDREN] Our fingers are at your command [MARY POPPINS] A broken songbird still can sing [TOPSY] Let's do the turtle swing! [instrumental] [TOPSY] Oh, woe is me Now I'm on my head! How can that be? [MARY POPPINS] Well you say woe, but I say lucky you [TOPSY] Lucky me? [MARY POPPINS] Yes. Here on your head, "A" is far behind and led by Zed It's good to get a different point of view You see, when the world turns upside down, the best thing is turn right along with it [TOPSY] I do see! From down here, things look right side up, hahaha! [JACK] I wouldn't mind seeing things from that angle [JOHN] Sounds like fun [ANNABEL] Can we? [MARY POPPINS] Very well. Flippity flop [ANNABEL] Near is [JOHN] Far is [JACK] Here is [GEORGIE] There! [MARY POPPINS] Turtles turning everywhere! [TOPSY] Things are getting clear [MARY POPPINS] Well, knock on wood, my dear! When you change the view from where you stood The things you view will change for good [TOPSY] I never thought of things that way [MARY POPPINS] She never thought of things that way [TOPSY] Now Wednesdays are my favorite day [JACK and CHILDREN] Now Wednesdays are her favorite day [TOPSY] 'Cause that's the day I'm quite contrary And now, thanks to cousin Mary I have changed- to be exact I love the fact [ALL] The world is turning turtle, turtle, turtle!
