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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
Gm Cm
|
|
Why don't you play the music
|
|
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
