Lyrics
Turtlurtlurtle is a turtle, not a bird
Or an orangutan, an elephant
Or even a giraffe
She can hold her breath
Under water, like an otter
But she isn’t an otter either
And her best friend, Lou
Is a turtle too---
How do you do, Lou?
Turtlurtlurtle has a sister, Myrtlyrtle
She’s a turtle, not a parrotfish
Flamingo or a bat
If you get confused
When you see her on the evening news
She isn’t a TV journalist
She has a crush on Lou
If he only knew---
(Oh!) How do you do, Lou?
Now turtles don’t often
Get mistaken
For the other animals in the zoo---
Except for tortoises
They live on land
We're talking about turtles
They live in water, and on land too
Turtlurtlurtle is a little bit unusual
She likes to wear a costume
Every day of her life
She’s super social
Soaking in the pools of other animals
She doesn’t seem scared at all---
And her best friend, Lou
Wears a costume, too---
But only sometimes
So, if you happen to
Be at the zoo
And you see a strange looking animal—-
It might be a turtle
In disguise
Otherwise, it might be a homo sapien
Turtlurtlurtl---urtlurtlurtlurtlurtl...
Urtlurtlurtlurtl and Loooo
Turtlurtlurtl---urtlurtlurtlurtlurtle
Urtlurtlurtl--urtl and Loooo
Turtlurtlurtle’s still a turtle. Quite a turtle!
And Myrtlyrtle finally married Lou
Everybody’s happy
This is sounding kind of sappy
But we hope to see you at the zoo
Bring your best friend, too
If he’s a turtle, you—-
Are lucky
