On a far away island<br>Of salamasond<br>Yertle the turtle<br>Was king of the pond<br>A nice little pond<br>It was clean it was neat<br>The water was warm<br>There was plenty to eat<br>Until one day<br>The king of them all<br>Decided the kingdom<br>He ruled was too small<br>I'm a ruler of all that I see<br>But I don't see enough<br>And that's the trouble with me<br><br>With this stone for a throne<br>I am too low down<br>I cannot look down<br>Upon the places beyond<br>So yertle the turtle king<br>Lifted his hand<br>And yertle the turtle king<br>Lifted his hand<br>He ordered all the turtles<br>Onto one another's back<br>He piled them high<br>Into a ten turtle stack<br>I'm yertle the turtle<br>The things I now rule<br>I'm king of a cow<br>I'm king of a mule<br><br>Then down from below<br>In the great turtle stack<br>Came a burp from a plain<br>Little turtle named mack<br>Just part of the throne<br>This burpin' little turtle<br>Looked up and said 'i beg<br>Your pardon king yertle'<br>I've pains in my back<br>My shoulders and my knees<br>How long must we stand<br>Here your majesty<br>'silence !' the king of the<br>Turtles barked back<br>To the bad burpin'<br>Little turtle named mack<br>I'm yertle the turtle<br>Oh marvelous me for<br>I am ruler of all that I see<br><br>Yertle, yertle the turtle...<br>Yertle, yertle the turtle...
