Dan Bull - The Fastest Tortoise on the Planet lyrics

Hello, it's Dan Bull
Guinness World Records have challenged
Me to make
A song using content from their books
Guinness World Records 2016
Guinness World Record 2016 Gamer's Edition
I said I could make songs about anything
So uh challenge accepted
Here we go

If you're a tortoise it doesn't matter
You can still be the fastest
Tortoise on the planet
Practice makes perfect so put the work in
To succeed isn't free you've got to earn it
Take every calorie and burn it
Take every curveball that hit's you
Return it take every lesson and learn it
Until the fact you're the best is the verdict
Whether you do it alone or play in a team
The world's one big arcade machine
There's seven billion of us playing
Each unique get engaged in the game
And then chase your dream take control
Roll with the punches break the mold
Take a stroll on your crutches
Refine your craft and your talent
'Til nobody else on the planet can touch it

I want to be the biggest the strongest
The oldest the youngest
The fastest the longest
I wanna be the largest the tallest
The brightest the darkest
The hardest the smallest
I wanna be me i wanna be the best I can be
I wanna be me
I wanna be the best that I can be

My goodness look
If there's anything the tortoise taught us
It's to never tread water never cut corners
To take no quarter
When you break those borders whether you
Deform your face eat all the grapes
Or crush a biscuit betwixt
Your shoulder blades
Grow your fingernails out run in clogs
Spit flames raise funny dogs
What are you the best at?
Better than the rest at?
What are you self taught?
Or genetically blessed at?
Whoever you are there's a record you can set
Fact when I said you've got potential
I meant that and approach each unique plan
Two thumbs up on each hand
Write it down with the world's
Biggest ball point pen and then
Do it all again to the end

I want to be the biggest the strongest
The oldest the youngest
The fastest the longest
I wanna be the largest the tallest
The brightest the darkest
The hardest the smallest
I wanna be me i wanna be the best I can be
I wanna be me
I wanna be the best that I can be

That was alright, wasn't it?
