LITTLE TURTLE
(J. Bennett)
Joe Bennett & The Sparkletones - 1958


Beep-beep, little turtle
Beep-beep, little turtle
Beep-beep, little turtle
Slowly, oh so slowly you'll a-comin' crawlin' back to me
Slowly, oh so slowly your love will come to me
Step on it little turtle, you're goin' much too slow
Step on it little turtle, don't you know, don't you know
You need twin carburetors on your motorvatin' wheels
I've been awaitin' on you and I'm waitin' on you still
Little turtle, why do you go so slow

You think you're doin' somethin' just a-sittin' in your shell
Well, you're waistin' time and kisses that could ring my bell
Step on it little turtle, you're goin' much too slow
Step on it little turtle, don't you know, don't you know
You need twin carburetors on your motorvatin' wheels
I've been awaitin' on you and I'm waitin' on you still
Little turtle, why do you go so slow

Beep-beep, little turtle, move out of the road
Beep-beep, little turtle, why don't you move your load
Well, it's gettin' later baby, I've done all my best
The least you could have done was try and test
Little turtle, move out of the road

Beep-beep, little turtle
Beep-beep, little turtle
Beep-beep, little turtle
