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?
