Red Hot Chili Peppers

- "Oh, Yertle the turtle, the things I now rule
- I'm king of a cow, I'm king of a mule"

- Then down from below in the great turtle stack
- Came a burp from a plain little turtle named Mack
- Just part of the throne, this burpin' little turtle

- “I'm Yertle the turtle, oh marvelous me
- For I am ruler of all that I see”
- Yertle, Yertle the turtle
- Yertle, Yertle the turtle
- Yertle, Yertle the turtle
