Verse 1
Look (E minor) at that turtle go, bro!
Verse 2
On (E minor) a far away island of
Salamasond
I said, Yertle the turtle
Was king of the pond
A nice little pond
It was clean, it was neat
The water was warm
There was 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

Interlude 1
And that's the trouble with me"
(E minor)
Verse 3
With (E minor) this stone for a (D major) throne
I am (E minor) 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
Oh, Yertle the turtle
"The things I now (G minor) rule
I'm king of a cow
(E minor) I'm king of a mule"
Verse 4

Then (E minor) down from below
In the great turtle stack
Came a burp from (E major) a plain (E minor)
Little turtle named Mack
Just part of the throne
This burpin' little turtle
Looked up and said, "I beg
(G minor) Your (Daug) pardon (E minor) king (Daug) Yertle
I've (E minor) pains in my back
My shoulders and my knees
How long must we stand
Here your majesty?"
"Silence!" (G minor) the (E minor) king of the
Turtles barked back
To the bad burpin'
Little turtle named Mack

I am ruler of (D sharp major) all (E minor) that I see
