The turtle moves slowly and
Is happy with his pace of life
The flamingo walks with elegant grace
She knows she's one of a kind

If you can't stop, at least smile as you go by
If you can't stop, at least smile as you go by
Sometimes, you just gotta know how to feel...

The happy crab danced on the beach to a calypso beat
The happy mullet jumps for the pure joy of being alive...

If you can't stop, at least smile as you go by
If you can't stop, at least smile as you go by
Sometimes, you just gotta know how to feel...

The gator grinned as he dreamed of his next meal
Every good fisherman has a pelican watching over him...

If you can't stop, at least smile as you go by
If you can't stop, at least smile as you go by
Sometimes, you just gotta know how to feel...
