Tippy the Turtle

[Voice2, Female] [Intro] I tell you this tale of Tippy’s grand scale, And the dreams of how he would rule. For in his heart, he knew from the start, That his reign would be anything but cruel. [Voice 1, Male] Verse 1: If I ruled this zoo, cried Tippy, and I do, You can bet I would change a few things. You’d all lick my shoes and beg for my views, Because that’s how you treat noble kings. Chorus: The bells loudly rang as the oppressed screamed and sang, To escape this horrible serial. Tomorrow you’ll see my crown will yet be, As he reached for his box of imperial. Verse 2: With a crown on my head and a scepter in hand, I’d command all the creatures with ease. From the lions to the mice, they’d heed my advice, And bow down to my royal decrees. Chorus: The bells loudly rang as the oppressed screamed and sang, To escape this horrible serial. Tomorrow you’ll see my crown will yet be, As he reached for his box of imperial. Bridge: In the heart of the night, under the moon’s soft light, I’d dream of a kingdom so grand. Where the animals cheer, and there’s never a tear, In the land that I rule with my hand. Verse 3: But behind that broad smile, there’s a hint of his guile, For Tippy’s was not what he seemed. With a wink and a nod, he would play the facade, Of the king who was kind, as he schemed. Chorus: The bells loudly rang as the oppressed screamed and sang, To escape this horrible serial. Tomorrow you’ll see my crown will yet be, As he reached for his box of imperial. [Voice 2, Female] Outro: So remember this tale of Tippy’s grand scale, And the dreams of how he would rule. For in his heart, he knew from the start, That his reign would be anything but cruel.
