The Hare And Tortoise Songtext
von Peter Combe

I can run, look at me
I can jump, can you see?
I can hop, look at me
No one else is faster than me
No, no one else is faster than he

Well, even though I may be slow
I always get where I need to go
Curled up tight inside my shell
Happy and warm in the place I dwell

But I can run, look at me
I can jump, can you see?
I can hop, look at me
No one else is faster than me
No, no one else is faster than he


Well, let me ask you face to face
How would you like to have a race
If I came first and you came last
Even though you′re very fast

But he can run, look at me
He can jump, can you see?
He can hop, look at me
No one else is faster than me

He can run, look at him
He can jump, he will win
He can hop, look at him
He's fit and strong and healthy and trim
And no one else is faster than him

Well, you′ve heard the story, there was no glory
He ran the first mile then he rested awhile
But too long did he take, it was a very big mistake
Because although he was fast, he finished last

Said Tortoise, "It's me who's usually behind
More often than not at the end of the line
But sometimes it′s true, sometimes the case
That slow and steady wins the race."
