Lyrics

Me dijeron que en el Reino del Revés
nadie baila con los pies,
que un ladrón es vigilante y otro es juez
y que dos y dos son tres.
Vamos a ver cómo es el Reino del Revés.
Me dijeron que en el Reino del Revés
cabe un oso en una nuez,
que usan barbas y bigotes los bebés
y que un año dura un mes.
Vamos a ver cómo es el Reino del Revés.
Me dijeron que en el Reino del Revés
hay un perro pekinés
que se cae para arriba y una vez
no pudo bajar después.
Vamos a ver cómo es el Reino del Revés.
Me dijeron que en el Reino del Revés
un señor llamado Andrés
tiene 1.530 chimpancés
que si miras no los ves.
Vamos a ver cómo es el Reino del Revés.
Me dijeron que en el Reino del Revés
una araña y un ciempiés
van montados al palacio del marqués
en caballos de ajedrez.
Vamos a ver cómo es el Reino del Revés.
Vamos a ver cómo es el Reino del Revés.
(Gracias a je por esta letra)

Lyrics translation

I was told that in the Upside Down Kingdom
no one dances with their feet,
that one thief is vigilant and another is a judge
and that two and two is three.
Let's see what the Upside-Down Kingdom looks like.
I was told that in the Upside Down Kingdom
fits a bear in a nut,
that babies wear beards and mustaches
and that a year lasts a month.
Let's see what the Upside-Down Kingdom looks like.
I was told that in the Upside Down Kingdom
there's a Pekinese dog
that falls up and once
he couldn't get down afterwards.
Let's see what the Upside-Down Kingdom looks like.
I was told that in the Upside Down Kingdom
a gentleman named Andrew
it has 1,530 chimpanzees
that if you look, you don't see them.
Let's see what the Upside-Down Kingdom looks like.
I was told that in the Upside Down Kingdom
a spider and a centipede
they ride to the palace of the Marquis
in chess horses.
Let's see what the Upside-Down Kingdom looks like.
Let's see what the Upside-Down Kingdom looks like.
