World Turned Upside Down

Through eating too much supper before I went to bed Strange thoughts came on my slumber, strange thoughts came in my head This world seemed topsy-turvey and people of reknown Were doing the most peculiar things as they world turned upside down I dreamt there was no work house and there were no starving poor And nations never did quarrel, nor never went to war I thought all men were angels and women ne'er wore a frown Old maids they had large families as the world turned upside down
