CLOPIN:
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the piece de resistance!
Here it is - the moment you've been waiting for
Here it is - you know exactly what's in store
Now's the time we laugh until our sides get sore
Now's the time we crown the King of Fools
So make a face that's horrible and frightening
Make a face as gruesome as a gargoyle's wing
For the face that's ugliest will be the King of Fools
Why?
ESMERALDA & REVELERS:
Topsy Turvy
CLOPIN:
Ugly folks, forget your shyness
ESMERALDA & REVELERS:
Topsy Turvy
CLOPIN:
You could soon be called 'Your Highness'
CLOPIN & ESMERALDA & REVELERS:
Put your foulest features on display
Be the King on Topsy Turvy day!
REVELERS, CHOIR:
Topsy Turvy
ESMERALDA:
Aren't you going to join in the competition? ...My God...
REVELERS:
Topsy Turvy
ESMERALDA:
Oh...wouldn't you like to be crowned King for a day?
REVERLERS:
Topsy Turvy
ESMERALDA:
Why not take advantage of what you've got?
REVELERS:
My God, he's hideous!
Is that a mask?
It's his face!
He's the devil!
Impossible!
You're cursed!
CLOPIN:
Ladies and gentlemen! We're in luck.
We asked for the ugliest face in Paris, and we've found him, eh?
Quasimodo - the Hunchback of Notre Dame!
Everybody!
ESMERALDA & REVELERS:
Once a year we throw a party here in town
CLOPIN:
Hail to the King
ESMERALDA & REVELERS:
Once a year we turn all Paris upside-down
CLOPIN:
Oh, what a King
ESMERALDA & REVELERS:
Once a year the ugliest will wear a crown
CLOPIN:
Girls, give a kiss
ESMERALDA & REVELERS:
Once a year on Topsy-Turvy Day
CLOPIN:
We've never had a King like this
ALL:
And it's a day we do the things that we deplore
On the other three hundred and sixty four
Once a year we love to drop in
Where the beer is never stoppin'
For the chance to pop some popinjay
And crown a King that put's the top in
Topsy Turvy Day
Topsy Turvy!
Mad and crazy
Upsy-daisy
Topsy Turvy Day
Hey!
