Želví nervy od želvy schovám stranou
Jednu káď tam dám pro sebe
A pak aspoň pět pro tebe
Víš má drahá a zbytek je pod vanou
Když si někdo pozor nedá
Jak se vlastně želva hledá
Ona ho na něco nachytá
I když si to pozděj’ vyčítáMezihra
Když si někdo pozor nedá
Jak se vlastně želva hledá
Ona ho na něco nachytá
I když si to pozděj’ vyčítáNé moc lehce se želva po dně honí

Jeho úsměv se vytratí
A to se mu nevyplatí
Má se nebát želev a spousty vodní
