I like the way turtles go
They enjoy themselves and they move real slow
Sunning on a log all day in the pond, they
Swim away when they are done
Walking by the pond road I remember
I’ll be part of this farewell
Say goodbye and leave something here behind you
Like this empty turtle shell
Ah, dee, ah, dee, ah, etc.
I like the way the katydids go (ch-ch-ch)
Some sing high and some sing low
They stay up singing all night long and they
Go to bed when the night is done
Walking by the pond road I remember
I’ll be part of this farewell
Say goodbye and leave someday singing
A song they will remember well
Ah, dee, ah, dee, ah, etc.
And I like the way I go
My mind moves fast and my heart moves slow
And all my future’s as big as the sky and it gets
Brighter every time I open my eyes
Walking by the pond road I remember
I’ll be part of this farewell… someday
Say goodbye and leave someday singing
A song to send them on their way….
Ahhhh, eee aaaa… etc.
