| I wish I was a turtle |
| I would live life so slow |
| A Galápagos turtle, I mean tortoise |
| And I’ve sworn this since long ago |
| What did you say? |
| I couldn’t hear your screams and shouts |
| Most of the time I’ve got my head inside my house |
| Yeah |
| When I want to say hello to one of my good friends |
| I peek my head out, say wassup, then go back in |
| I wish I was a turtle |
| I’d never be in no rush |
| A Galápagos tortoise, I mean turtle |
| Just lurkin' around in the Galápagos |
| What did you say? |
| I couldn’t hear you very well |
| Call me Barack Obama, I enjoy being inside Michelle |
| Yeah |
| When I want to say hello to one of my good friends |
| I peek my head out, say wassup, then go back in |
| I wish I was a turtle (yeah!) |
| Just doing things that turtles do |
| Just walkin' slow and eatin' grass |
| And living for a really long time |
| It’d be like a dream come true |
| What did you say? |
| My shell is eighty percent sound proof |
| I wish I was a turtle and that’s the |
| God’s honest truth, ye-eh-ay |
| When I want to say hello to one of my good friends |
| I peek my head out, say what’s up, then go back in |
