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.
