Dalszöveg
Look at that turtle go, bro!
On a far away island of Salamasond
Sir Yertle the Turtle was king of the pond
A nice little pond
It was clean it was neat
The water was warm
There was plenty to eat
Until one day the king of them all
Decided the kingdom he ruled was too small
I'm a ruler of all that I see
But I don't see enough
And that's the trouble with me
With this stone for a throne
I am too low down
I cannot look down
Upon the places beyond
So Yertle The Turtle king
Lifted his hand
And Yertle The Turtle king
Gave a command
He ordered all the turtles onto one another's back
He piled them high into a ten turtle stack
Oh, Yertle The Turtle
The things I now rule
I'm a king of a cow
I'm a king of a mule
Look at that turtle go, bro!
Then down from below
In the great turtle stack
Came a burp from a plain
Little turtle named Mack
Just part of the throne
This burpin' little turtle
Looked up and said
"I beg your pardon King Yertle
I've pains in my backs,
My shoulders and my knees
How long must we
Stand here your Majesty?"
"Silence!" the king
of the turtles barked back
To the bad burpin'
Little turtle named Mack
I'm Yertle The Turtle
Oh marvellous me
For I am a ruler of all that I see
Yertle, Yertle The Turtle (x4)
Yertle, Yertle The Turtle (x3)
Wow, look at that turtle go
Bro!
Yertle, Yertle The Turtle
Yertle, Yertle The Turtle
Yertle, Yertle The Turtle
Yertle, Yertle The Turtle
Yertle, Yertle The Turtle
