Title: Stary żółw
Why in the database: Turtle in the title and in the entire lyrics.

Był pewien bardzo stary żółw
Miał może jakieś z dwieście lat
I tłusty był, i dobrze żył
Wszystkie mądrości również zjadł

Niestety jeden mały uraz miał
Nie znalazł dotąd tej, co chciał
Aha-ha – swojej dziewczyny
Ślicznej żółwicy

A w koło wszyscy śmieli się
Że niby jaki z niego chwat
Bo kawalerem jeszcze jest
Mimo przeżytych dwustu lat

Dlatego żółw już w kompleks wpadł
Nie znalazł przecież tej, co chciał
Aha-ha – swojej dziewczyny
Ślicznej żółwicy

On jednak nie załamał się
Trudnym, samotnym życiem swym
Pożyje jeszcze ze sto lat
To jakaś się zakocha w nim

To jakaś się zakocha w nim
Na pewno się zakocha w nim

Lecz stary uraz ciągle trwał
Nie znalazł jednak tej, co chciał
Aha-ha – swojej dziewczyny
Ślicznej żółwicy

The fear inside that your fever has died
I don’t know turtleneck where you’ve been all my life
But I feel, turtleneck, that you’re leaving me aside
I don’t know turtleneck where you’ve been all my life
But I feel, turtleneck, that you’re leaving me aside
Crumbling and shattering his?
You yearn for more, a churn, looking for something new
You call the lover’s name in your black sheep
You yearn for more, my turtleneck, for something new
I don’t know turtleneck where you’ve been all my life
But I feel, turtleneck, that you’re leaving me aside
I don’t know turtleneck where you’ve been all my life
But I feel, turtleneck, that you’re leaving me aside
Was he having fun enough? of her heart
Morning …
Of all the city there? Drinks were in there
Running to approve?? were on the wall
And then she
She was a man in black
Wanting to be held
Before she went away
Wandering through the night
She was a man in white
Trying to leave town
He would’ve? her down
Before he left the store
Left her in the door
Left her in the store
I don’t know turtleneck where you’ve been all my life
But I feel, turtleneck, that you’re leaving me aside
I don’t know turtleneck where you’ve been all my life
But I feel, turtleneck, that you’re leaving me aside

Title: Speed Turtle
Why in the database: Turtle in the title and in the whole lyrics.

I want to tell you of the most amazing thing I know
(Thing I know, yeah, thing I know)
You’ve got to just stand back now, and watch it go
(Watch it go, watch it go)

It is compact, streamlined
Built to last
Shiny, green and so incredibly fast

It’s a speed turtle, woah
It’s a speed turtle, woah no
Man alive, it’s in overdrive
Go, little turtle, go go

(Hard top, non-stop)
(Four on the floor)

You know, it makes a little humming noise and moves like lightning
(Moves like lightning, moves like lightning)
It’s superstock power is a little bit frightning
(Go speed turtle, go speed turtle)

And when that maniac gets going
Well, hang on to your hat
It can tear across the road in just three hours flat

It’s a speed turtle, woah
It’s a speed turtle, woah no
Man alive, it’s in overdrive
Go, little turtle, go go

Now that turtle’s always been a very peppy soul
And it gets around awfully quick (quick, quick, quick)
But lately it’s careening nearly out of control
I guess the four new sneakers give an extra kick (extra kick)

Well I don’t know why that turtle keeps on pushing the pace now
(Duh diddit dit, pushing the pace)
Every minute of the day is like some kind of race now
(Some kind of race, some kind of race)

With a gotta-get-there attitude
That never fails
It blazes right past ever one of us snails
(All over town, it’s gonna shut us down)

It’s a speed turtle, woah
It’s a speed turtle, oh no
Man alive, it’s in overdrive
So go, little turtle, go go

(Speed turtle) Yeah, little turtle, go go
(Speed turtle) Let’s go little turtle, go go
(Speed turtle) Come on and go, little turtle, go go
(Speed turtle) Get down and go, little turtle, go go
(Speed turtle) I said go, little turtle, go go
(Speed turtle) It’s time to go, little turtle, go go
