Lyrics The Turtles

The Turtles

Chicken Little Was Right

Did ya hear what happened to the world today?

Somebody came an' they took it away

Wrapped it up in a wire net

Took it away an' it ain't back yet

We were waitin'

We were watchin'

Yes, we knew it all along

You were wrong

Put it in a place where dead worlds lie

Underneath a tombstone, ten miles high

We're so safe, so secure

Heaven knows we're absolutely sure

Never grew up but now it's dead

What'd you suppose the epitaph read?

'We're so young, we're so good

Heaven knows we surely must endure'

We were waitin'

We were watchin'

Yes, we knew it all along

You were wrong

Now, it's gone

And we saw the little squirrels

And we watched their thrifty deeds

Who prepared for winter's needs

And we planted

Planted lemon seeds!

If that there world comes back again

We'll be there, so let's be friends

We'll be waitin'

We'll be watchin'

Yes, we've been here all along

Oh so long, so so long

Ehhh, ehhh, ehhh

Lemons growin' on our tree

Lemonade for you and me
