You can't make a turtle come out
You can't make a turtle come out
You can coax him or call him or shake him or shout, but
You can't make a turtle come out, come out
You can't make a turtle come out
If he wants to stay in his shell
If he wants to stay in his shell
You can knock on the door but you can't ring the bell and
Be kind to your four-footed friends
Be kind to your four-footed friends
A poke makes a turtle retreat at both ends and
So you'll have to patiently wait
So you'll have to patiently wait
And when he gets ready he'll open the gait, but
And when you forget that he's there
And when you forget that he's there
He'll be walking around with his head in the air, but
