Look at that turtle go, bro

On a far away island of Salamasond

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

I'm Yertle the turtle, the things I now rule

I'm king of a cow, I'm 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 burping' little turtle

Looked up and said "I beg

Your pardon king Yertle"

I've pains in my back

My shoulders and my knees

How long must we stand

Here your majesty

"Silence!" the king of the turtles barked back

To the bad burping little turtle named Mack

I'm Yertle the turtle, oh marvelous me

For I am ruler of all that I see

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Wow!

Look at that turtle go, bro

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle, Yertle the turtle
