Slowly I made my way across the street.
I thought I was careful, but I did not see.
There was someone riding on their wagon right at me.
Four horses in front of that wagon!

I thought I would surely be stomp, stomp, stomped!
But then from the sky swooped down, down, down.
A giant bird or a lion with wings.
I am not sure what, 'cause it dropped me to the ground.

I was surrounded by lots of things,
but I did not see any of them.
Because I am just a little slow.
I was enchanted long, long ago.

I simply wanted to
live a good long life,
and so I move so, so slow.
And I even think slow.

I tried my best at the university.
I wanted to learn so many things.
And I'd stare at the books
and I'd stare at everything.

They had to dust me, you know, ow, ow.
Because I was that slow.
But sometimes I still got hungry,
and so I wanted to grab a bite.

That is why I left the university.
I have problems because even when
I try to eat as fast as I can
the food it rots on my plate.

Because I move so, so slow,
the food it rots before it's in my face.

It is a problem you know.
I have found a few people, though,
can prepare preserved food
that I can reasonably stomach down.

Prepare preserved food
that really helps me to go.
So there are a few places
where I go to get my food.

I like to eat out sometimes.
Watching as the sky flick, flickers on by.
The sun moves so fast, so fast in the sky.
But I just sit and nibble my food.

I know you probably don't think
that the sun just flick, flickers in the sky.
For you probably move so fast
that I can hardly see as you swish on by.

But I, I move slow.
