Shmyrtle the turtle was a lovely pet
With a shell so slick he was so quick or as quick as turtles get
Shmyrtle the turtle liked to run away
To the garden next-door or the grocery store and all the neighbors would say
HEY there goes Shmyrtle the runaway turtle
Heading down the highway in search of leafy greens
And when he's had enough of all that healthy stuff
We'll pick him up and put him in our backyard once again
Shmyrtle the turtle one day didn't come home
Till we got a postcard of a lovely backyard from a family in Rome
Shmyrtle the turtle had traveled all that way
To Italy to try the parsley and now all the Italians say
Bonjourno Shmyrtle the world traveling turtle
Climbing up the alps in search of leafy greens
And when he's had enough of all that yummy stuff
We'll pick him up and put him our backyard once again
Shmyrtle the turtle launched out into space
Way past mars beyond the stars to a cosmic far away place
Shmyrtle the turtle found a planet there called KALE
Where the greens were more green than he ever had seen and all the Kaliens wale
Bleep Blorp Blurtle Schmeep Schmoppity Schmyrtle
Passing through dimensions in search of leafy greens
And when he's had enough of all that stellar stuff
We'll pick him up and put him our backyard once again
We'll pick him up and put him our backyard once again
We'll pick him up and put him our backyard once again
