Lyrics
CHORUS Turtle Turtle T is for Turtle Turtle my friend Has lived for millions of years 1 Turtles have flippers They swim in all the seas Except in Antarctica They swim where they please So many kinds of turtles Live in water and land Mama turtle comes ashore Laying eggs in the warm hot sand...........Chorus |
2
Baby turtle hatches At night under starry skies They follow the lights above When they open their eyes They scramble down the shore To the ocean’s embrace Where they live and grow up Swimming in the world with grace..........Chorus 3 Turtles have hard shells They hide their heads inside Protecting from predators Not because they’re shy Turtles are reptiles With beaks that bite and tear They eat green grass and algae That they find everywhere............Chorus |
