MAKE IT SNAPPY

(SUNG BY KURT THE SNAPPING TURTLE)

CAN A TURTLE JUMP A HURDLE? PURPLE BURT'LL ANSWER THAT:

 "KURT CAN'T JUMP ONE BUT HE'LL BUMP ONE OUT THE WAY IN MINUTES FLAT."

AS YOU KNOW I CANNOT GO MUCH FASTER THAN A SNAIL IN SNOW

 MY LEGS ARE SHORT AND I SUPPORT A BIG SHELL

 GUESS WHAT? I'M SLOW!

MAKE IT SNAPPY, MAKE IT SNAPPY

 I CAN HEAR YOU, IT DON'T MATTER

 MAKE IT SNAPPY, MAKE IT SNAPPY

 I'M A TURTLE AND THAT'S THAT!

SNAPPING TURTLES ARE HISTORIC, DINOSAURIC, TRUTH BE TOLD

 SO DON'T RUSH ME, PUSH OR MUSH ME

 HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR THE OLD

YOU WANT SPEEDY? LISTEN SWEETIE, I WOULD MOVE IT IF I COULD

 IF WHAT YOU PAY FOR'S TO BE SAFER I AM YOUR GUY, UNDERSTOOD?

I AM STURDY, STRONG AND TRUSTY - YOU WILL GET WHERE YOU ARE HEADED

 DON'T EXPECT TO GET THERE FAST 'CAUSE IF YOU DO YOU JUST DON'T GET IT

MAKE IT SNAPPY, MAKE IT SNAPPY

 I CAN HEAR YOU, IT DON'T MATTER

 MAKE IT SNAPPY, MAKE IT SNAPPY

 I'M A TURTLE AND THAT'S THAT!
