You Can'T Make A Turtle Come Out

You can't make a turtle come out,
No, you can't make a turtle come out,
Well you can call him or coax him or shake him or shout,
But you can't make a turtle come out, come out,
No, you can't make a turtle come out.

If he wants to stay in his shell,
If he wants to stay in his shell,
You can knock on the door, but you can't ring the bell,
And you can't make a turtle come out, come out,
No you can't make a turtle come out.

So you'll have to patiently wait,
So you'll have to patiently wait,
And when he gets ready, he'll open the gate,
But you can't make a turtle come out, come out, come out
No you can't make a turtle come out.

And when you forget that he's there, Shhhhhh
And when you forget that he's there,
He'll be walking around with his head in the air,
Cause you can't make a turtle come out, come out,
No you can't make a turtle come out.
