William Brighty Rands - Topsy-Turvy World
Work rating: Medium

IF the butterfly courted the bee,  
  And the owl the porcupine;  
If churches were built in the sea,  
  And three times one was nine;  
If the pony rode his master, 
  If the buttercups ate the cows,  
If the cats had the dire disaster  
  To be worried, sir, by the mouse;  
If mamma, sir, sold the baby  
  To a gypsy for half a crown;
If a gentleman, sir, was a lady,—  
  The world would be Upside-down!  
If any or all of these wonders  
  Should ever come about,  
I should not consider them blunders,
  For I should be Inside-out!  
  
             Chorus

Ba-ba, black wool,  
  Have you any sheep?  
Yes, sir, a packfull,  
  Creep, mouse, creep!
Four-and-twenty little maids  
  Hanging out the pie,  
Out jump’d the honey-pot,  
  Guy Fawkes, Guy!  
Cross latch, cross latch, 
  Sit and spin the fire;  
When the pie was open’d,  
  The bird was on the brier!
