Jungle Turtle was born on 7/7/7
Turtle Ma said, "He's a gift from heaven."
She didn't know yet Turtle Pa was gone
He took the last Grey Hound to Saskatchewan
Chorus:
Don't carry it around, Little Jungle Turtle
You were made to fly
Call of the wild sounds, Little Jungle Turtle
You know you gotta try
Jungle Turtle grew up on the mean side
He grew a hard shell but he was soft inside
Carrying the weight of the world on his back
1 of these days his shell was gonna crack
Chorus
1 day on the streets in the city
Jungle Turtle made a new friend
She was beautiful, she was so pretty
He promised he'd be with her 'till the end
Chorus
Jungle Turtle came home to find his wife
& their little boy at the point of a knife
With his shell as a weapon he took the villain on
He saved his family, but his own life was gone
Chorus
