It’s Turtle’s birthday, and he’s off to circle the world
With both his best friends, the Turkey, and Humming Bird!
His jet’s a turbo – way faster than sound!
He supercharged it, for zooming around!
From Newark, New Jersey, they took off, way up to the sky
‘Till they were cruising, at thirty-five thousand feet high!
Atlantic Ocean, so perfectly blue
They stopped in Paris, and Amsterdam, too!
Have you heard, have you heard the word?
Turtle took off, to journey around the world!
Have you heard, have you heard the word?
His friends are on board, Turkey and Humming Bird!
They traveled over the Mediterranean Sea
When Turkey yelled, “Look! That country!
It’s named after me!”
Sahara Desert, the Ivory Coast --
Bird loved the steamy rain forest the most!
Have you heard, have you heard the word?
A third of the way, journeying ‘round the world
Have you heard, have you heard the word?
They’re having a ball, traveling around the world!
Have you heard, have you heard the word?
Turtle took off, to journey around the world!
Have you heard, have you heard the word?
His friends are on board, Turkey and Humming Bird!
Have you heard, have you heard the word?
A third of the way, journeying ‘round the world
Have you heard, have you heard the word?
They’re having a ball, Turkey and Humming Bird!
Have you heard, have you heard the word?
When will they return, from journeying ‘round the world!
Have you heard, have you heard the word?
They’re having a ball, journeying ‘round the world!
