 もしもし　かめよ　かめさんよ せかいのうちに　おまえほど あゆみの　のろい　ものはない どうして　そんなに　のろいのか

なんと　おっしゃる　うさぎさん そんなら　おまえと　かけくらべ むこうの　小山（こやま）の　ふもとまで どちらが　さきに　かけつくか

どんなに　かめが　いそいでも どうせ　ばんまで　かかるだろう ここらで　ちょっと　ひとねむり グーグーグーグー　グーグーグー

これは　ねすぎた　しくじった ピョンピョンピョンピョン ピョンピョンピョン あんまり　おそい　うさぎさん さっきの　じまんは　どうしたの

English Translation
Hello there, Tortoise, Mr. Tortoise There isn't anyone in the world Who walks as slowly as you do Why is it that you're so slow?

Mr. Hare says that He'll have a race with you To the base of the far away hill Where did he run ahead to?

No matter how fast the turtle goes I won't see him until evening at best I'll take a little nap here Snore, snore, snore, snore

He messed up and slept too much Hop, hop, hop, hop Hop, hop, hop Mr. Hare is too late What happened to his pride from before? }}
