Now everybody gather round
(dig little turtles, dig!)
It's time to climb out of the ground
(dig little turtles, dig!)
With yolk sacs on, we're sort of stout
(dig little turtles, dig!)
But we'll help each other to dig out!
(dig little turtles, dig!)
Dig, brave little turtles, dig!
Watch out for a wild pig!
Dig as fast as you can go!
Dig, little turtles, dig!
Our eyes are open big and wide
(go little turtles, go!)
It happens to be dark outside
(go little turtles, go!)
We look for reflections off the sea:
(go little turtles, go!)
That's the way to go, everybody follow me!
(go little turtles, go!)
Go, brave little turtles, go!
Can't afford to go slow!
Go as fast as you can go!
Go little turtles, go!
Be careful as you run to the sea!
(run little turtles, run!)
For a scary crab almost caught me!
(run little turtles, run!)
And watch out, watch out over there!
(run little turtles, run!)
Some hungry birds fly through the air!
(run little turtles, run!)
Run, brave little turtles, run!
Or they'll eat you one by one!
Run as fast as you can go!
Run little turtles, run!
So many of us came out to crawl
(swim little turtles, swim!)
Don't worry, they won't catch us all!
(swim little turtles, swim!)
Just when we felt so very weary
(swim little turtles, swim!)
A wave came and carried us out to sea!
(swim little turtles, swim!)
Swim, brave little turtles, swim!
A shark is going after them!
Swim as fast as you can go!
Swim little turtles, swim!
A hundred turtles tried to flee
(rest little turtle, rest)
Now only one remains, that's me
(rest little turtle, rest)
I'm hiding in Sargasso weed
(rest little turtle, rest)
The others didn't make it...
but I'll succeed!
(grow, little turtle, grow!)
Grow, brave little turtle, grow!
Grow until you return to go
back to the beach from which you fled...
Grow, little turtle, grow!
