Versuri 14. Yertle the Turtle

Look at the turtle go, bro 
 
On 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 a 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 
And that's the trouble with me? 
 
?With this stone for a throne, I'm 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 rule 
I'm king of a cow, I'm king of a mule" 
 
Look at the turtle go, bro 
 
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 your pardon, King Yertle" 
 
?I've pains in my back, my shoulders and my knees 
How long must we stand here, Your Majesty? 
"Silence", the king of the turtles barked back 
To the bad burpin' little turtle named Mack 
?I'm Yertle the turtle, oh marvelous me 
For I am ruler of all that I see? 
 
Yertle, Yertle the turtle 
Yertle, Yertle the turtle 
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
