Myrtle

... MYRTLE ...

In the turtle world
A flag unfurled...
Our girl Myrtle made the hurdle
Had the blood that wouldn't curdle
She's the fast blast rocket turtle -
Myrtle! Myrtle! Myrtle!

A day in May
Sunny and gay
She wore her teeny tiny bikini
Over tights designed by Cavallini
Shoes by Nike, hair by...
She ain't got no hair 'cause she's a turtle!
Myrtle! Myrtle! Myrtle!

The starting gun
Away she run
Step by step around the track
Eyes on the prize now don't look back
They are neck to neck and shell to shell
Come on, Myrtle! Give them hell!
Myrtle! Myrtle! Myrtle!

In the backstretch
Or is it neckstretch?
"Clumping along like a circus elephant"
Explains the helpful racetrack hierophant
"Coming up on the outside is Softshell Sally!
Does Myrtle have enough heart to rally?"
The crowd is yelling for their favorite turtle
Myrtle! Myrtle! Myrtle!

Myrtle or Sally
Who wins the tally?
It's a photo finish so wait for the print
Sally chews gum, Myrtle sucks on a mint
OK, it's ready, let's hear the announcement
The loudspeakers make the desired pronouncent
She holds up the trophy for the winning turtle
Myrtle! Myrtle! Myrtle! Myrtle!
