Lyrics:
Once there was a very very speedy hare
Once there was a very very speedy hare
He would brag from near and far
That he was faster than a car
Oh yes, one time there was a very speedy hare
The plucky tortoise said to Hare, “Let’s have a race,”
The plucky tortoise said to Hare, “Let’s 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”
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!
All the animals came down to see them run
All the animals came down to see them run
With a bell the race began
And fast away the quick hare ran
Oh yes, the animals came down to see them run
The lagging tortoise very slowly crawled along
The lagging tortoise very slowly crawled along
Since the hare so quickly sped,
He had by now run far ahead
Oh yes, the tortoise very slowly crawled along
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!
The speedy hare felt very sure that he would win
The speedy hare felt very sure that he would win
Since he thought he couldn’t lose,
He laid right down to take a snooze
Oh yes, the hare felt very sure that he would win
The little tortoise kept on inching down the road
The little tortoise kept on inching down the road
He passed by the sleeping hare,
Who kept on snoring, unaware
Oh yes, the tortoise kept on inching down the road
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!
Determined Tortoise nearly reached the finish line
Determined Tortoise nearly reached the finish line
The sleepy hare woke up and ran
As fast as speedy quick hares can
Oh yes, the tortoise nearly reached the finish line
Yes it’s true that slow and steady wins the race
Yes it’s true that slow and steady wins the race
Oh yes the hare was very fast
But even so, he came in last
Oh yes it’s true that slow and steady wins the race
