Topsy (LP版) - The Manhattan Transfer[00:00:00]
Written by:Eddie Durham/Edgar Battle[00:00:05]
Brothers n' sisters[00:00:11]
Listen while I tell you about the strangest thing[00:00:12]
Somethin' you might have heard before[00:00:16]
Like a bell's familiar ring[00:00:18]
Topsy thought he had it all covered yes sir[00:00:21]
Turvy he never really had a mind to hear[00:00:25]
What Mr Topsy had to say[00:00:29]
It's such a scene[00:00:30]
Fightin' all the time[00:00:31]
They're gettin' mean[00:00:32]
All the sparks're flyin'[00:00:33]
Is this a dream[00:00:35]
Makes you wanna cry[00:00:36]
I'm gonna scream[00:00:37]
What's the point I wonder why[00:00:38]
My my my my my people you should know[00:00:40]
These cats'll never get no relief[00:00:43]
Turvy was sweet Topsy it's so pulverizin' paralyzin'[00:00:45]
Yes yes[00:00:48]
Y' know I really don't get it[00:00:49]
That's the way it always seems to be dread it[00:00:51]
Everytime I come around these cats are always scrappin'[00:00:53]
Yappin' all about some little fluffy piece of ding a lingin'[00:00:56]
Stain around the elbow[00:00:58]
A bit of this a bit of that[00:01:00]
You bet your dollar that the joint's a hellzapoppin'[00:01:01]
Man alive Topsy's in a fit Turvy's in a snit[00:01:03]
Ain't there anyone here who can put out the fire[00:01:07]
This is the most exasperatin' situation tell ya[00:01:09]
I ain't never seen the likes of this one[00:01:12]
And I have seen a bunch that'll really make you think about it[00:01:14]
Wait a minute hold your horses here they comin' now[00:01:17]
Oh Mr Topsy you sure bring me down[00:01:19]
Better believe you're spittin' the cotton[00:01:22]
You are spittin' the cotton now[00:01:23]
Ah and Mr Turvy your head's no where bound ha[00:01:24]
It's somethin' I would rather do without[00:01:26]
Ain't you had enough of Topsy Turvy[00:02:07]
It's tested my patience now[00:02:09]
Sick and tired of this crazy scene[00:02:12]
I'm a little more than sick n' tired oh I'm really wired[00:02:14]
There's another way to go about this brother[00:02:17]
Now got'ta dig what I'm 'bout to tell ya[00:02:19]
Loving one another's what I mean[00:02:22]
Out if you'll only check it out[00:02:25]
Fightin's such a crime[00:02:27]
Now they're gettin' mean[00:02:28]
Wastin' so much time[00:02:31]
I'm gonna scream[00:02:33]
Wastin' yours and wastin' mine[00:02:34]
Topsy Turvy's world is topsy turvy[00:02:35]
A little lovin'[00:02:39]
Just because they can't meet in between[00:02:40]
Say[00:02:45]
Topsy Turvy Topsy Turvy[00:02:58]
What a pity[00:03:05]
