Punk Rock Turtle
This morning Facebook reminded a writer friend of mine of when she shared a photo saying how she loved punk rock turtle. She decided to share the memory today, stating that she still loved punk rock turtle.
Of course, this made me think of one thing:
As such, I decided to comment with a bit of modified lyrics. We had so much fun with that, I decided to post the full modified lyrics here. Enjoy:
DEAD MILKMEN
“Punk Rock Turtle”
One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead
I met a turtle there
And she almost knocked me dead
Punk rock turtle please look at me
Punk rock turtle what do you see?
Let’s travel round the world
Just you and me punk rock turtle
I tapped her on the shoulder
And said do you have a beau?
She looked at me and smiled
And said she did not know
Punk rock turtle give me a chance
Punk rock turtle let’s go slamdance
We’ll dress like Minnie Pearl
Just you and me punk rock turtle
We went to the Phillie Pizza Company
And ordered some hot tea
The waitress said “Well no
We only have it iced”
So we jumped up on the table
And shouted “anarchy”
And someone played a Beach Boys song
On the jukebox
It was “California Dreamin'”
So we started screamin’
“On such a winter’s day”
She took me to her parents
For a Sunday meal
Her father took one look at me
And he began to squeal
Punk rock turtle it makes no sense
Punk rock turtle your dad is the Vice President
Rich as the Duke of Earl
Yeah you’re for me punk rock turtle
We went to a shopping mall
And laughed at all the shoppers
And security guards trailed us
To a record shop
We asked for Mojo Nixon
They said “He don’t work here”
We said “If you don’t got Mojo Nixon
Then your store could use some fixin'”
We got into a car
Away we started rollin’
I said “How much you pay for this?”
She said “Nothing man, it’s stolen”
Punk rock turtle you look so wild
Punk rock turtle let’s have a child
We’ll name her Minnie Pearl
Just you and me
Eating fudge banana swirl
Just you and me
We’ll travel round the world
Just you and me punk rock turtle
