[Red Hot Chili Peppers - Yertle the Turtle lyrics]
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 a-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 the 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
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
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 a-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 the turtle go, bro
Then down from below in

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!

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
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
