Now word up I got a story to tell It starts way back When we were Coming out of our Shell Back then we were Little Swimming in the Bowl But something Happened When we fell down That manhole Don't have to tell You what you Already know You should Remember that We all have to Grow Everybody does it in A different way So do it on your Own that's What the turtles Say Walk straight No need to mutate Mutate You never got to Mutate Got to walk Straight No need to mutate Mutate No need to if you're Walking straight Got to walk Walk straight Talk Talk straight Be Be straight See See straight Hear Hear straight Think Think straight Walk Walk straight In the beginning we Were crawling Round A nuclear Mutation Is what Got us off the Ground But you're walking Tall You're ahead of the Game And you know that Moving Backwards is a Crying shame So when they ask You If you're joining in Just keep on Walking And never begin You may not be Green And have a cool shell But you'll be you And You'll do it so well
