🎵 Lyrics 🎵
Verse 1
Once there was a very very speedy hare (speedy hare)
Once there was a very very speedy hare (speedy hare)
She would brag from near and far
That she was faster than a car
Oh yes, one time there was a very speedy hare (speedy hare)
Verse 2
The plucky tortoise said to Hare, “Let’s have a race,” (have a race)
The plucky tortoise said to Hare, “Let’s have a race,” (have a race)
“If you’re so fast in running shoes,
Then there’s no way that you can lose,”
Oh yes, the tortoise said to Hare “Let’s have a race” (have a race)
Interlude/Chorus
Fast and slow, fast and slow!
Who will win? Let’s watch them go!
Down the road, around the tree!
Who will win? Just wait and see!
Verse 4
The lagging tortoise very slowly crawled along
The lagging tortoise very slowly crawled along
Since the hare so quickly sped,
She had by now run far ahead
Oh yes, the tortoise very slowly crawled along
Verse 5 – drink of water
The speedy hare felt very sure that she would win (she would win)
The speedy hare felt very sure that she would win (she would win)
Since the tortoise hadn’t caught her
She sat down to drink some water
Yes, the hare felt very sure that she would win (she would win)
Verse 6
The little tortoise kept on inching down the road
The little tortoise kept on inching down the road
He passed by the resting hare,
Who kept on sitting, unaware
Oh yes, the tortoise kept on inching down the road
Interlude/Chorus
Fast and slow, fast and slow!
Who will win? Let’s watch them go!
Down the road, around the tree!
Who will win? Just wait and see!
Verse 7
Determined Tortoise nearly reached the finish line (finish line)
Determined Tortoise nearly reached the finish line (finish line)
The sleepy hare got up and ran
As fast as speedy quick hares can
Oh yes, the tortoise nearly reached the finish line (finish line)
Verse 8
Yes it’s true that slow and steady wins the race (wins the race)
Yes it’s true that slow and steady wins the race (wins the race)
Oh yes the hare was very fast
But even so, she came in last
Oh yes it’s true that slow and steady wins the race (wins the race)
