Janis' solo:
2
Brothers ' sisters listen while I tell you about the strangest thing
3
Somethin' you might have heard before, like a bell's familiar ring
4
Topsy-thought he had it all covered, Yes sir!
5
Turvy, he never really had a mind to hear
6
what Mr. Topsy had to say
7
It's such a scene
8
Fightin' all the time
9
They're gettin' mean
10
All the sparks're flyin'
11
Is this a dream?
12
Makes you wanna cry
13
I'm gonna scream
14
What's the point?
15
I wonder why.
16
Janis' solo continued:
17
My, my, my, my, my people you should know -
18
these cats'll never get no relief
19
Turvy, and sweet - Top-sy - it's so pulverizin', paralyzin';
20
Doncha know?
21
(YES YES)
22
Tim's solo:
23
Y' know I really don't get it
24
That's the way it always seems to be-dread it
25
Everytime I come around these cats are always
26
scrappin'
27
Yappin' all about some little fluffy piece of ding a lingin'
28
stain around the elbow
29
A bit of this, a bit of that - you bet your dollar that the
30
joint's a hellzapoppin'
31
Man alive!
32
Topsy's in a fit
33
Turvy's in a snit
34
Ain't there anyone here who can put out the fire?
35
This is the most exasperatin' situation tell ya
36
I ain't-never seen the likes of this one
37
And I have seen a bunch that'll really make y' think
38
about it
39
Wait a minute, hold your horses, here they comin' now
40
Oh Mr. Topsy you sure bring me down
41
Better believe you're spittin' the cotton-you are spittin' the cotton now
42
Ah!
43
And Mr. Turvy your head's no where bound
44
It's somethin' I would rather do without
45
Ha!
46
Piano Solo
47
Ain't you had enough of Topsy Turvy
48
I've had more than I can handle ' it's tested my patience now
49
Sick and tired of this crazy scene
50
I'm a little more than sick ' tired, oh, I'm really wired
51
There's another way to go about this brother
52
Won'tcha hear me now, got'ta dig what I'm 'bout to tell ya
53
Loving one another's what I mean
54
-Boy love'll really straighten y' out - If you'll only check it out
55
It's such a scene
56
Fightin's such a crime
57
Now, they're gettin' mean
58
Bound t' lose their mind
59
Man, is this a dream?
60
Wastin' so much time
61
Help! I'm gonna scream
62
Wastin' yours
63
And wastin' mine
64
Topsy Turvey's World is Topsy Turvy
65
a little lovin' might undo it
66
Just because they can't meet in between
67
Woe, (oh) Woe (no) Woe (oh) Woe (no) Woe
68
Woe, Woe, Woe, Woe, Woe
69
Woe, (oh no) Woe (oh no) Woe (oh no) Woe (oh no)
70
Woe
71
Top-sy Tur-vy Top-sy Tur-vy Oooooooh
72
What a pity.
