It’s Spike, he’s Spike, his head and neck are covered with little spikes!
His shell was only an inch long and so was his tail!
He’s Spike, he’s Spike, the most handsome Florida snapping turtle:
and he never fights since he was only 3 weeks old!
Our Spike, our Spike, we’re having a wondrous life I really like
with Charlie, Rocky and Gracie, and Big Black Bart!
Oh Spike, our Spike, for your first meal you ate couscous-sized pellets,
all inside a dixie cup...and technically you could grow to weigh eighty pounds!!!
Our Spike, yes our Spike has beautiful, soulful eyes...
With Spike, with Spike: we’ll teach people a snapping turtle’s one you can like!
Oh Spike my Spike, It’s like God dropped you right in my lap
And oh, I couldn’t say no, so here we go:
And within one hour you were in your first Turtlesinger Show!
Our Spike, oh Spike, what a happy, happy, happy birthday you were to me…
I’m enchanted by our Spike, It’s so much more than just “like”
I’m in love…with our snapping turtle, Spike!
