[Verse 1]
One day a funny kind of man
Came walking down the street
He wore a shoe upon his head
And hats upon his feet

[Verse 2]
He raised the shoe and smiled at me
His manners were polite
But never had I seen before
Such a funny sounding sight

[Verse 3]
He said, "Allow me to present
Your Highness with a rose"
And taking out a currant bun
He held it to my nose

[Verse 4]
I staggered back against the wall
And then I answered, "Well
I never saw a rose with such
A funny looking smell"

[Verse 5]
He then began to sing a song
"Hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm"
And sat down on the ground
You never heard in all your life
Such a funny feeling sound
[Verse 6]
"My friend, why do you wear two hats
Upon your feet?", I said
He turned the other way about
And hopped home on his head
