      Gm                  
Long ago when he was young
       Cm             F   
He was really kind of dumb
       Eb           D     
But he always said 'Hello'
               Gm  
And closed the door
        Gm                
He made fire out of sticks
         Ab                  
And some other cleaver tricks
        Eb       
And was basically
  D             Gm  
A scintillating bore

         Gm                 
Then one day when he was ten
        Cm               F  
Coming slowly 'round the bed
       Eb            D      
He encountered what appeared
        Gm   
To be a shell
            Gm                  
But when he took a second glance
       Ab                   
In his heart he felt romance
     Eb   
He decided
         D               Gm 
He would call the turtle Mel

Chorus:

         Cm        
Cause he found him,
      D7     Gm    
Right on the street
       Cm        D7     Gm  
He was crawling, on his feet
             Eb              Bb    
And when you find yourself a turtle
        Cm                 Dm
And you don't know what to do
    Eb               D            
The best thing is to take him home
     Gm 
With you

              Gm              Cm
Why don't you play the music    
F Bb D 
              Gm              Cm
Why don't you play the music    

Bridge:
Gm Eb D Gm

     Gm                 
Simultaenously they grew
      Cm              F   
And together they ate soup
      Eb        D            Gm   
What apparently two lemsanoensoing
        Gm                
Mel and Morris were a team
          Ab                  
They were perfect like a dream
        Eb            D        
They succeeded in whatever they
     Gm   
Were doing

         Gm                 
Then one morning half asleep
       Cm            F   
Morris got up on his feet
        Eb              D  
Just to check on turtle Mel
           Gm      
Who wasn't snorring
            Gm                  
But when he opened up the drawer
        Ab               
Like so many times before
     Eb                 D       
Only this time Melvin's presense
       Gm     
Wasn't showing

         Cm        
Cause he found him,
      D7     Gm    
Right on the street
       Cm        D7     Gm  
He was crawling, on his feet
             Eb              Bb    
And when you find yourself a turtle
        Cm                 Dm
And you don't know what to do
    Eb               D            
The best thing is to take him home
     Gm 
With you

              Gm              Cm
Why don't you play the music    
F Bb D 
              Gm              Cm
Why don't you play the music    

Bridge:
Gm Eb D Gm

           Gm                    
Well, this really took some nerve
       Cm          F     
Morris painfully observed
     Eb            
And away he went to
D              Gm      
Find his rebel tortoise
          Gm                    
Searching high and searching low
        Ab                    
Braving rain and fighting snow
       Eb               D     
Morris covered far more ground
          Gm   
Than even Moses

           Gm                     
Then while passing through a field
          Cm                   F   
There was laughter that seemed real
       Eb             D    
And it sounded like a party
        Gm  
On some farm
            Gm                    
But when he looked behind his tree
       Ab                    
He was quite surprised to see
         Eb    
Good old Melvin
       D           Gm  
In somebody else's arms

         Cm        
Cause he found him,
      D7     Gm    
Right on the street
       Cm        D7     Gm  
He was crawling, on his feet
             Eb              Bb    
And when you find yourself a turtle
        Cm                 Dm
And you don't know what to do
    Eb               D            
The best thing is to take him home
     Gm 
With you

              Gm              Cm
Why don't you play the music    

Bridge:

              Gm              Cm
Why don't you play the music    

Brigde:
Gm Eb D Gm

        Gm                     
Being a turt... let's try again
        Gm                     
Being a turt... let's try again
        Gm              
Being a turtle is a drag
       Cm                F  
Melvin tried to chew the rag
          Eb            
Though by then it seemed
     D               Gm      
That Morris lost his interest
              Gm               
And two weeks later he was seen
         Ab                   
With his frog of wealthy means
        Eb         D   
Who was formerly a very
         Gm      
Gorgeous princess

         Cm        
Cause he found him,
      D7     Gm    
Right on the street
       Cm        D7     Gm  
He was crawling, on his feet
             Eb              Bb    
And when you find yourself a turtle
        Cm                 Dm
And you don't know what to do
    Eb               D            
The best thing is to take him home
     Gm 
With you

           Eb             
And if you need more ideas
             D  Gm 
Just ask ol' Morris

Outro:
Gm Bb           
Eb Bb D Gm C7/9
