lyrics

SHELLEY THE TURTLE

Verse:
Shelley the turtle loves to swim,
Her cousins are the tortoise and the terrapin
She may look small but weighs 1,000 pounds,
Her shell’s dark green and a little bit brown

Tag:
Swim on, Shelley,
Swim, swim, on Shelley,
Swim on Shelley
Swim, swim, on Shelley,

Verse:
Shelly the turtle loves to eat,
Picking up her food with her webbed feet,
Instead of ice cream, she loves jellyfish!
Lately she’s been mistakin’ plastic for her favorite dish

Tag:
Munch on, Shelley,
Munch, munch, on
Shelley, munch on

Verse:
When people pollute, they’re hurting Shelley’s home
Infesting it with garbage makes it hard to roam,
So when Shelley tries to leave the ocean to lay her eggs,
It’s harder for her to move with plastic stuck onto her legs

Refrain:
Shelley’s singing the ocean pollution blues,
Telling kids don’t litter for me, and you

Tag:
Don’t be a litterbug,
Don’t be a litterbug,
Don’t be a litterbug, don’t!

Refrain:
Shelley’s singing the ocean pollution blues,
She’s singing it for her, for me, and you

Verse:
Next time you hold a bottle at the sunny beach,
Think of our friend Shelley and her webbed feet,
Recycle your bottles and do not pollute,
Tell your friends bout Shelley, how she’s oh so cute!

Tag:
Care for Shelley,
Take care of Shelley
Care for Shelley,
Take care of Shelley

Refrain:
So she won’t sing the ocean pollution blues,
She’ll sing sweet songs for me and you
