Chorus
Your toys are topsy-turvy, they’re scattered ev’ry way
It’s time for toys and little boys to call it all a day
You’ve had a lot of fun, come on there, little one
It’s sleepy time in topsy-turvy town
Your drum is bent and battered, you’ve tossed it on the floor
You’ve run your little trains until they can’t run any more
It’s time you run to bed, come on there, sleepy head
It’s sleepy time in topsy-turvy town
You’ve counted all your painted wooden soldiers
It’s time that you were busy counting sheep
So come and climb upon your daddy’s shoulders
And he’ll march you right off to sleep
You’re just a little rowdy, there’s mischief in your face
But Dad and Mother wouldn’t take an angel in your place
Come on there, little clown, let’s turn the covers down
It’s sleepy time in topsy-turvy town
