What if the world went backwards mum
Would I get up with the setting sun
Dirty my teeth un-chew my food
Spit it out whole
Would you call that rude
I would grow into a baby
See what I mean
The good thing is
My nappy would be suddenly clean
After making it smelly in the washing machine
Put in your whites and they come out green
And kitty cat would be takkytik
Crocodile would be elidocork
Elephant would be tnaffylay
But dad would still be dad
We'd un-paint art
Make the canvas bare
Leave the salon with longer hair
Hooray hip hip when we cheer
Fix your legs when you fall up the stairs
Grandad grows less bald and starts to grin
When the dentist puts his teeth back in
He pokes in splinters with a pin
And watches his un-wrinkling skin
And Hippopotamus will be sumatopoppih
Kangaroo will be ooragnak
Alligator will be a rotagilla
But mum will still be mum
Toot will still go toot
A kook is still a kook
A dud will be a dud
A nun will be a nun
Wow will still be wow
And lots of laughs will still be lol
What if the world went backwards mum
I'd play guitar like
What if the world went backwards mum
Would a burp be fun
What if the world went backwards mum
Evolution would be fun
Future me with a hairy thumb
A tail much better than a gun
Back in the pond we'd all be scum
What if the world went backwards mum
The end of my song would have just begun
If the world went backwards mum
