We wrote a sad song but we made it happy
Changed a dirge into something snappy
Turned a black hole into a white mountain
Turned a well into a fountain
We took a leaf and we made it a root
Turned a rock into a parachute
We made a tuba into a flute
Turned the solvent right into solute
Turned the celibate into the over-sexed
Turned a chicken into a T-Rex
We turned Harvard into Yale
Turned every plankton into a whale
Chorus
Look out! It's opposite day
Everything is backwards, you won't mean what you say
Calm down! It's just another night
Everything is forwards, everything is right
We'll take love and turn it into hate
Turn Iraq into Kuwait
We turned nowhere into someplace
We turned your ass into your face
We took yes and turned it into no
Saw a desert and we made it snow
We switched our ones into zeros
Turning all the losers into heroes
We turned the problem into the solution
Turned a mumble into perfect elocution
We took fusion and turned it into fission
We took aimlessness and made it our mission
Chorus
Turn a Dominican into a Haitian
Turn a Serb into a Croatian
We took a bucket and made it an umbrella
Turned a pumpkin into Cinderella
Turned The Iliad into the Odyssey
Replaced exhibitionism with modesty
turned a Plebeian into a Patrician
Took an honest man and made a politician
We turned the right into the left
Took a donation and made it a theft
We'll change negotiation to dictation
Turn a cleavage into a ligation
Chorus
We turned the plus into a minus
Turned Charlie Brown into Linus
Turned the organic to the robotic
Stuff that was rational is now quixotic
We took selfishness and made it reciprocity
We made stationary shit have big velocities
We changed coherence into discordance
Altered adoration to abhorrence
Turned an island into a lake
Took success and made a huge mistake
We turned the water into land
Turned this ridiculous group into a band
Chorus
