REVERSE KINGDOM

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom
The bird swims and the fish flies,
That cats don't go «meow» but say «yes»
Because they learn a lot of English.

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom
Nobody dances with his feet,
That a thief is a policeman and another is a judge
And that two and two are three.

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom
A bear can get into a walnut,
That babies have beards and moustaches
And that a year lasts a month.

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom
There's a Pekinese dog
That falls upwards, and one time,
He couldn't get down after he'd fallen.

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom
A man named Andrew
Has 1,530 chimpanzees
That you can see if you look at them.

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom
A Spider and a centipede
Ride on chess horses
In the marquis' palace.

Let's go and see how
The Reverse Kingdom is.
