| You can’t make a turtle come out |
| You can’t make a turtle come out |
| You can call him or coax him or shake him or shout |
| But you can’t make a turtle come out, come out |
| You can’t make a turtle come out |
| If he wants to stay in his shell |
| If he wants to stay in his shell |
| You can knock on the door but you can’t ring the bell |
| And you can’t make a turtle come out, come out |
| You can’t make a turtle come out |
| Be kind to your four-footed friends |
| Be kind to your four-footed friends |
| A poke makes a turtle retreat at both ends |
| And you can’t make a turtle come out, come out |
| You can’t make a turtle come out |
| So you’ll have to patiently wait |
| So you’ll have to patiently wait |
| And when he gets ready, he’ll open the gate |
| But you can’t make a turtle come out, come out |
| You can’t make a turtle come out |
| And when you forget that he’s there |
| And when you forget that he’s there |
| He’ll be walking around with his head in the air |
| But you can’t make a turtle come out, come out |
| You can’t make a turtle come out |
