Lyrics
CHORUS
SLOW AND STEADY LIKE THE TORTOISE
FAST AND READY LIKE THE HARE
THE TORTOISE EVENTUALLY FINISHED
BUT THE HARE JUST BARELY GOT THERE
SLOW WHOAH WHOAH
FAST, RIGHT PAST
IT SEEMED THAT FOR THE TORTOISE
HE WAS SURE TO COME IN LAST (1st chorus)
IT WASN'T A GOOD FORECAST (2nd chorus)
But inch by inch the turtle went
He planned to win the race,
And it was no accident
He kept a steady pace
The hare was way ahead by now
He stopped to take a snooze.
No way could any tortoise win
No way a hare could lose
chorus
So as he slept the tortoise crept
Toward the finish line,
And by the time the hare awake
The tortoise passed the sign
The sign that said in white and red
"Slow pace is no disgrace
With a sure determination
Slow and steady wins the race".
