Tho I'm A Tortoise Lyrics

My finger paints aren't great

But I still hang them on my fridge

Reminds me of the fun I had

Whenever I look at it


No I am not Picasso or Da Vinci or who knows who

Tho I am not the best by far I sure like what I do

(Alright, guys! On your mark, get set-)

Slow down take a nap, I'll catch up to you
Run laps around me but we'll both burn out soon

The finish line's close and you've nothing to prove

And tho I'm behind, I need a nap too
Cause tho I'm a tortoise, I've nothing to prove

Tho I'm a tortoise, I've nothing to prove

Death is marching

Death is marching

Death is marching

Death is marching

A slap on the wrist

A tomb made of stone

A casket awaiting a nap (Oh, oh, oh)

We all end up six feet below

Bury me in my favorite hat


The medals I've won from the races I've run

On display back home with my cat

We all end up six feet below

So why should we care 'bout all that?

I run my mouth and I will 'til I'm old
And things may not be as the forecaster told

Guess they wanted me to show off what I do

But I couldn't care any less to show you

Cause tho I'm a hare, I've got nothing to prove

Tho I'm a hare, I've got nothing to prove

Death is marching

Death is marching

Death is marching

Death is marching

Death is marching

Death is marching

Death is marching

Death is marching

Two cozy little caskets, cardboard boxes, earthy holes

Can I hang our favorite pictures on the walls of moss and mold?

(Death is marching, death is marching, death is marching- death is- death is marching- death is-)

Death is marching steadfast toward us (Two cozy little caskets)
It doesn't care if you're bronze, silver or gold (cardboard boxes, earthy holes)
If I reach the end before you
Will you lend your hand to hold?
Will you lend your hand to hold?

Slow down take a nap, I'll catch up to you
Run laps around me but we'll both burn out soon

They'll pit us against one another, it's true
And tho we are different we've nothing to prove

Tho I'm a tortoise, I've nothing to prove
Tho you're a hare, you've got nothing to prove
Tho we are different, we've nothing to prove

Oh tho I'm a tortoise, I've nothing to prove
