TOPSY TURVY TALK
As sung by Leslie Sarony, with Jack Hylton & His Orchestra

You can see a change in these modern days
Ev'rywhere you go.
Through the pictures now we have changed our ways,
Especially in our talk,
For everywhere they reach
And change the nations' speech.

The Germans say, "Ja, ja," and the Frenchmen say, "Oui, oui."
Out in sunny Italy they say, "Si, si."
Ev'rywhere, you know, jazz is all the go.
Even out in Belgium they say, "vo-do-do-de-o-do."

We used to say, "Yes, yes," but now we're in a mess.
It's enough to turn one grey.
Things are topsy-turvy since the talkies came to stay,
For the Yankees say, "Gor blimey" and the Cockneys say, "OK."

We used to be polite and say, "That's great, old egg!"
But we're sadly altered now.
Things are topsy-turvy since the talkies made a row,
For the Yanks say, "What about it?" and the Cockneys say, "And how!"
