[Verse 1:]
Get yourself together, let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink
Nothing's gonna happen without warning.

[Chorus:]
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup?
Down is the new up, is the new up.

[Bridge:]
Won't you be my girl? Won't you be my girl?

[Verse 2:]
Your services are not required
Your future's bleak, you're so last week
Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net
I shall now perform a 180 flip-flop
I shall now amputate, I shall now contort.

[Chorus:]
Because down is the new up
What if I just flip-flop?
Down is the new up, down is the new up
Down is the new up, is the new up.

[Bridge:]
You crawled off and left us, you crawled off and left us
You crawled off and left us.

[Outro:]
You're on candid camera
The chink in your armour
Topsy turvy town
Topsy turvy town
Shake your pockets out
Pass it on, pass it down
Topsy turvy town
Topsy turvy town.
