"Turning Turtle" - Mary Poppins Returns Lyrics Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Turning turtle?
What exactly does that mean?
It means my whole world goes flippity-flop like a turtle on its [Eb] back.
And I don't know my up from my down, my east from my west, my topsy from my bottomsy.
Shh!
_ If [Abm] you ring me something broken on a Thursday, _
I'll make new with [Ab] my glue, [Ebm] pins and thread.
[Bbm] _ _ [B] But [E] you bring when [Bm] I'm awoken on a Friday, _
I [B] will mend and [E] then spend on a new _ [A] birth.
_ [E] Children's Saturdays and Mondays are just everything is fun days.
But in the second [D] week [Eb] I [C] wear a brown [Cm] _
[B] fur.
[Bbm] I know that after Tuesday [Gb] comes the topsy,
and Wednesday [Bbm] is the dreaded second [Gb] Wednesday.
[G] When from nine to noon my life [F] turns [Bbm] upside down. _ _
_ [C] _ [Bbm] _ [Am] _ [Bb] _ [F] _ [Bbm] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bbm] Fast is slow, low [Bbm] is high, stop is go, and that is why every second Wednesday is a hurdle.
_ [D] [Ebm] From eight to nine all is [Bbm] well, then I roll over on my [Ebm] shell and all [F] because the world is turning turtle.
_ _ [Bbm] [Cm] Day is night, dog is cat, black is [Bbm] white, thin is fat, that is why I'm [Cm] loosening [Bbm] up my girdle.
_ [Dm] [Ebm] I [Bb] cannot help [Ebm] this charming trope [Bbm] no more because I'm in [C] the soup, and why?
[F] Because the world is turning [Bb] turtle.
_ _ Oh, woe is me, [Bbm] I'm as opposite as I can be.
[Gb] I long [A] for Thursdays when [Bbm] the world is drama.
[G] [Ebm] Then will [Gb] it cease, [Bbm] now my life resembles [Gb] war and peace that Tolstoy certainly had [F] the gift of.
I couldn't get through it.
[Bbm] Fought and stopped, king is young, peace [F] and pride have stormed and rang.
[Bbm] Tuesday night my glad begins to kettle.
_ [D] East is west, in is out, [Bbm] and that is why I need to shout, [F] oh no!
The world is turning [Gb] turtle.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, if you had come some other morn, you wouldn't have found me so forlorn.
But since the day that I was born, second Wednesday is on the fritz.
I couldn't mend this to save my soul.
If this keeps up, I'll dig a hole.
You say life's a cherry bowl, but Wednesdays fall a pit.
Tell [Ebm] us, can you fix this trough?
[Bbm] Well, today's looking glum.
[Ebm] Can you mend this gruff and broken string?
[Fm] Perhaps if you all lend a [Bbm] hand.
Our fingers are at your [A] command.
A broken [Bb] [Am] songbird still can sing.
[Bb] Let's do the [Dm] turtle string.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [A] _
[Bb] _ [A] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [Ab] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[D] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [E] Always mean, now [Abm] I'm off my head.
How can that be?
[Bb] Well, you say [Eb] woe, but I say [Abm] luck.
Are [Bb] you laughing [Gb] me?
[Dbm] Yes.
Here on [E] your [Abm] head, A is far behind [Db] and let thy shed [Bb] its foot.
Get a beautiful [Eb] point of view.
[E] Yes.
You see, when the world turns upside down, [Gb] the best thing is to turn right along with it.
I do see.
From down [A] here, things look right side up.
_ _ I wouldn't [C] mind seeing things from that angle.
[Db] Sounds like fun, can't we?
[C] Very well.
Flippity [E] flop.
_ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] Mary Morris.
[Cm] Paris.
Turtles [Bbm] turning [Gb] [Bbm] everywhere.
[Cm] Things are [Bbm] getting clear.
Then knock [C] on wood, [F] my dear.
_ _ [Ebm] When you change the view from where you stood, [Bbm] the things you view will change for good.
_ _ _ [F] _
I never [Gb] thought of things that [G] way.
She never [Fm] thought of things that way.
[F] Now Wednesday's are [Gb] my favorite day.
[G] Now Wednesday's are [Fm] her favorite [F] day.
Cause [Gb] that's the [G] day I'm [Fm] quite going [F] to marry.
[Bb] And now [F] thanks to Gal and [Gb] Mary, I have changed to be [F] exact.
I love the fact.
The ground is [Bbm] turning.
Clap, clap. _
Clap, clap.
Clap, clap. _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
