In the funny, upturned land of Jumbly-Boo (Song)

1.
In the land of Jumbly Boo
on their heads, people wear shoes
and wear hats upon their feet
walking backwards down the street.

 

And the rich man just relaxes
while the poor pay all the taxes
in the funny, upturned land
of Jumbly Boo

 

Chorus:
Now you may think its a crazy place
and very upside down
where standing still is called a race
and smiling called a frown.

 

But the very strangest thing of all,
you will agree, I'm sure
is that, while the rich get richer
the poor only get more poor.

 

2.
In the land of Jumbly Boo
what is false, people call true
Sky is Earth and Earth is Sky;
birds all swim and fish all fly.

 

And the government does more
to help the rich than help the poor
in the funny, upturned land
of Jumbly Boo.

 

Chorus:
Now you may think its a crazy place
and very upside down
where standing still is called a race
and smiling called a frown.

 

But the very strangest thing of all,
you will agree, I'm sure
is that, while the rich get richer
the poor only get more poor.
