Yertle The Turtle
Red Hot Chili Peppers On a far away island Yertle the turtle of Salamasond Was king of the pond It was clean it was neat A nice little pond The water was warm There was plenty to eat The king of them all Until one day 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 Upon the places beyond I cannot look down I am too low down So Yertle the turtle king Lifted his hand And Yertle the turtle king He ordered all the turtles Into a ten turtle stack Lifted his hand Onto one another's back He piled them high I'm Yertle the turtle The things I now rule I'm king of a cow I'm king of a mule 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 My shoulders and my knees Your pardon king Yertle" I've pains in my back How long must we stand Here your majesty "Silence !" the king of the Turtles barked back I'm Yertle the turtle Little turtle named Mack To the bad burpin' I am ruler of all that I see Oh marvelous me for Yertle, Yertle the turtle Yertle, Yertle the turtle... |
