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 what's up, 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 what's up, 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

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
