My Friend Jake

I had a friend named Jake
 He was a happy kid
 Oh, everyone thought he was crazy, though
 For doing what he did
 'Cause Jakey liked to travel
 Oh, he loved to walk around
 But Jake didn't like convention
 So he walked upside down
 He got around okay, I guess
 Though he walked kind of slow
 And when he'd see me coming
 He'd just wave his toe
 At school it was a problem
 Yeah, he never would stay put
 And when other kids raised their hands
 Oh, Jake would raise his foot
 Now Jakey had an uncle
 Who had a PhD
 Who said, "This boy is crazy
 As crazy as can be!"
 But you know, Jake was happy though
 As crazy as that sounds
 He'd always say that the normal way
 Is upside down
 'Cause Jake thought wars were stupid
 And he didn't like to see folks frown
 Besides an angry face is a smile
 When you're standing upside down
 Well, they took him to a doctor
 And they gave him lots of tests
 They asked him lots of questions
 They would not let him rest
 Finally he agreed to change
 And got up from his seat
 And Jake, he just flipped right up
 And landed on his feet
 His mother clapped and his daddy smiled
 And the doctor jumped for joy
 And grandma started crying, saying
 "My, that's my boy!"
 Jake indeed had come around
 He finally had been cured
 "The best success that I've had yet!"
 The doctor assured
 But then something happened
 When he saw things right-side up
 And in about two hours
 Jake had had enough
 Everywhere people hated
 And it was hard to find a friend
 So Jakey did a turnabout
 And he's upside down again
 He likes things much better this way
 Even if it is hard to get around
 Well, that angry face is still a smile
 When you're standing upside down
 He still thinks wars are stupid
 And he never could learn to hate
 And I'd have to say the only one I know
 Right-side-up is Jake
 Now that he is happy again
 As crazy as this sounds
 I'd have to say that the normal way
 Is upside down
