Hurry Up Slow CoachNow here’s a little storyabout a tortoise and a

hare

The hare always bragged he was the

fastest

the tortoise he didn’t care

Come on you big old slow coach

Said the hare with a smile on his face

There’s only one way to prove who’s the

quickest

we’ve got to have a race

Next day all the animals gathered

to see this exciting show

The hare he was telling everybody

just how fast he’d go

But tortoise didn’t bothersaying

I’ll just take my time

It’s not the one who can run the fastest

but the first passed the winning line

Hurry up slowcoach, come on hurry up

this race I’m sure to win

Hurry up slowcoach, come on hurry up

Said the hare with a great big grin

So when the race was started

off like a rocket went the hare

The tortoise slowly crawled along

as if he had time to spare

Halfway through the race

the hare was ahead by a mile

I’ve time to take it easy

think I’ll sit down for a

while

He said

Hurry up slowcoach, come on hurry up

this race I’m sure to win

Hurry up slowcoach, come on hurry up

Said the hare with a great big grin

As the hare lay in the sunshine

and began to fall asleep

He didn’t hear the tortoise

slowly passed him creep

He lay there dreaming of

winning

and how to his friends he’d boast

but awoke just in time to see the

tortoisecrawl passed the

winning post

Hurry up slowcoach, come on hurry up

this race you didn’t win

Hurry up slowcoach, come on hurry up

Said the tortoise with agrin

This race you didn’t

win

This race you

didn’t win !
