On a far away island of Salamasond
Yertle the turtle was king of the pond
A nice little pond
It was clean it was neat
The water was warm
There was plenty to eat
Until one day
The king of them all decided the kingdom he ruled was too small
I'm a ruler of all that I see
But I don't see enough and that's the trouble with me
With this stone for a throne
I am too low down
I cannot look down upon the places beyond
So Yertle the turtle king lifted his hand
And Yertle the turtle king gave a command
He ordered all the turtles onto one another's back
He piled them high into a ten turtle stack
I'm Yertle the turtle
The things I now rule
I'm king of a cow
I'm king of a mule
Then down from below in the great turtle stack
Came a burp from a plain little turtle named Mack
Just part of the throne
This burpin' little turtle looked up and said
"I beg your pardon king Yertle"
I've pains in my back, my shoulders and my knees
How long must we stand here your majesty
"Silence!" the king of the Turtles barked back
To the bad burpin' little turtle named Mack
Oh marvelous me for I am ruler of all that I see
Yertle, Yertle the turtle...
