Verse 1
Verse 2
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"
Gm
Verse 3
Gm
F
With this stone for a throne
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
I'm king of a cow
Verse 4
Gm
Interlude 2
Look at the turtle go, bro!
