Verse 1
Once there was a rabbit, so quick on his feet,
He thought he was the fastest, no one could compete.
Every day he laughed, at those who ran slow,
Even at the turtle, who moved like a shadow.
Chorus
Oh, the rabbit, he laughed, he jeered at them all,
But the turtle, so patient, answered the call.
"One day, dear rabbit, someone will win,
You'll see that the race is not just a sprint."
Verse 2
The rabbit laughed loud, "No one beats me in a race,
I'm the fastest around, I'll win any chase!"
The turtle got angry, "Let's set a course,
We'll race tomorrow, show no remorse."
Chorus
Oh, the rabbit, he laughed, he jeered at them all,
But the turtle, so patient, answered the call.
"One day, dear rabbit, someone will win,
You'll see that the race is not just a sprint."
Verse 3
The rabbit thought sure, he'd win this race,
So he laid down to sleep, at a slow, easy pace.
The turtle just started, no thought to delay,
While the rabbit said, "I'll catch you anyway."
Chorus
Oh, the rabbit, he laughed, he jeered at them all,
But the turtle, so patient, answered the call.
"One day, dear rabbit, someone will win,
You'll see that the race is not just a sprint."
Verse 4
The rabbit woke up, from a dream so bad,
Saw the turtle still moving, and he felt glad.
He munched on some cabbage, took a little rest,
Confident that he'd still be the best.
Chorus
Oh, the rabbit, he laughed, he jeered at them all,
But the turtle, so patient, answered the call.
"One day, dear rabbit, someone will win,
You'll see that the race is not just a sprint."
Verse 5
The turtle kept going, all day and night,
And soon he was near, the finish line in sight.
The rabbit woke up, saw the turtle ahead,
Ran as fast as he could, but the turtle was fed.
Chorus
Oh, the rabbit, he laughed, he jeered at them all,
But the turtle, so patient, answered the call.
"One day, dear rabbit, someone will win,
You'll see that the race is not just a sprint."
Outro
The turtle won the race, by steady and slow,
He looked at the rabbit, who now seemed so low.
"Slow and steady wins the race," he said with a smile,
The rabbit learned his lesson, it took him a while.
