The World Turned Upside Down

Through eating too much supper

Before I went to bed

Strange thoughts came o'er my slumber

Strange thoughts came in my head

This world was topsy-turvy

And people of renown

Were doing the most peculiar things

As the world turned upside down

I dreamt all men were equal

And there were no starving poor

And nations never did quarrel

Nor never went to war

I dreamt all men were angels

And women ne'er wore a frown

Old maids they had large families

As the world turned upside down
