Song title: Manhattan Transfer - Topsy

Edit By: 216.73.216.218

Janis solo:
Brothers n sisters listen while I tell you about the strangest thing
Somethin you might have heard before, like a bells 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

Its such a scene
Fightin all the time
Theyre gettin mean
All the sparksre flyin
Is this a dream?
Makes you wanna cry
Im gonna scream
Whats the point?
I wonder why.

Janis solo continued:
My, my, my, my, my people you should know -
These catsll never get no relief
Turvy, and sweet - top-sy - its so pulverizin, paralyzin;
Doncha know?
(yes yes)

Tims solo:
Y know I really dont get it
Thats 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
Joints a hellzapoppin
Man alive!
Topsys in a fit
Turvys in a snit
Aint there anyone here who can put out the fire?

This is the most exasperatin situation tell ya
I aint-never seen the likes of this one
And I have seen a bunch thatll 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 youre spittin the cotton-you are spittin the cotton now
Ah!
And mr. turvy your heads no where bound
Its somethin I would rather do without
Ha!

Piano solo

Aint you had enough of topsy turvy
Ive had more than I can handle n its tested my patience now
Sick and tired of this crazy scene
Im a little more than sick n tired, oh, Im really wired
Theres another way to go about this brother
Wontcha hear me now, gotta dig what Im bout to tell ya
Loving one anothers what I mean
-boy lovell really straighten y out - if youll only check it out

Its such a scene
Fightins such a crime
Now, theyre gettin mean
Bound t lose their mind
Man, is this a dream?
Wastin so much time
Help! Im gonna scream
Wastin yours
And wastin mine

Topsy turveys world is topsy turvy
A little lovin might undo it
Just because they cant 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.
