[Verse 1] You saw me balance a book on my shoe, Flip a hotcake clean through the kitchen and catch it, too. I can whistle through a keyhole, count change with my toes, But I’m standing upright while I’m doing those. [Chorus] Just because I could do it standing on my head Don’t mean I’m standing on my head to do it. Feet on the floor and my hat where it’s fed, I’ve got a way, and I’m choosing to use it. I can turn myself around till the whole room’s red— Just because I could do it standing on my head Don’t mean I’m standing on my head to do it. [Verse 2] I can darn a sock while I’m riding a mare, Whip up a pie with one hand in the air. I could write my name backward, upside down, in the shed, But the pencil works fine with my boots on instead. [Chorus] Just because I could do it standing on my head Don’t mean I’m standing on my head to do it. Feet on the floor and my hat where it’s fed, I’ve got a way, and I’m choosing to use it. I can turn myself around till the whole room’s red— Just because I could do it standing on my head Don’t mean I’m standing on my head to do it. [Bridge] There’s a time for a cartwheel, a time for a chair, A time to do the sensible thing right there. If I’ve got a good trick, that don’t make it a rule— I can save my upside-down act for the county fair school. [Final Chorus] Just because I could do it standing on my head Don’t mean I’m standing on my head to do it. Feet on the floor and my hat where it’s fed, I’ve got a way, and I’m choosing to use it. I can turn myself around till the whole room’s red— Just because I could do it standing on my head Don’t mean I’m standing on my head to do it. [Outro] Boots on the ground, that’s how I get through it!
