Yertle The Turtle (lyrics By Dr. Seuss)

On a far away island
of Salamasond
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
And that's the trouble with me

With
this stone for a throne
I am too low down
I cannot look down
Upon the
places beyond
So Yertle the turtle king
Lifted his hand
And Yertle the
turtle king
Lifted his hand
He ordered all the turtles
Onto one
another's back
He piled them high
Into a ten turtle stack
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
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...
