"Topsy Turvy Tea" is an original Barney song that first appeared in Barney's Best Manners: Your Invitation to Fun!.
Lyrics[]
- When Alice was in Wonderland, what do you think she found?
- A tea party out in the woods, with nothing else around.
- The table could seat lots of guests, but there were only three.
- The hatter, hare, and dormouse at the topsy turvy tea.
- The hatter had a platter of crisp cookies by his side.
- Which, instead of sharing nicely, he did his best to hide.
- "Too bad there are no cookies," he said unconvincingly.
- Then, he covered them with napkins at the topsy turvy tea.
- "All change places!"
- The march hare was also there and doing something wrong.
- Instead of sipping sweetly, she stacked sugarcubes with tongs.
- "Ting a tong a tix pix," she said quite merrily.
- Then, the sugarcubes came tumbling at the topsy turvy tea.
- The sleepy little dormouse knew he should sit up straight.
- Instead, he just kept slumping, till he face was on his plate.
- "I think I need another nap," he hung quite noisily.
- And then, he started snoring at the topsy turvy tea.
- "All change places!"
- And that is how the party continued through the day.
- Up and down and round and round in such a silly way.
- If you go to a party, please act better than these three.
- The hatter, hare, and dormouse.
- "Oh, please try not to snore mouse"
- The hatter, hare, and dormouse at the topsy turvy tea!
