I woke up upside-down today
I wasn’t feeling good
Nothing’s going the right way
I’m in a funny mood
I cartwheeled to school
through the mud and the muck
I looked like a fool
and I got a bit stuck
When I got to class
I sang my alphabet in French
I sang it much too fast
and I got put on the bad kid bench
I couldn’t sit still
my hair was flying,
I taped my hands to the floor
I couldn’t stop but I was trying
I said the head teacher looked rubbish
in my attempt to compliment her
she said I would be punished
and I said, ‘Yes sir’
I got home and petted my mum
not the dog
I brushed the fake teeth of my garden gnome
and went back to sleep in a bog.
