The world is on a turtle
which is on a turtle, which is on a turtle
which is on a turtle, which is on a turtle
which is on a turtle, and it’s turtles all
the way down
The Earth spins round the sun
Spinning round the galaxy, Round the universe
Round the nucleus of the atom in a massive
giant’s thumb
Why a thumb?
Why is it always a thumb?
Of all the parts of a giant’s body
Why does the thumb always have a universe on it?
 
And what is he standing on?
He’s on a turtle
On a turtle on a turtle on a turtle
On a turtle on a turtle
And it’s turtles all the way down.
The Big bang began creation
All of time’s contained inside it
There is no before before that
‘cause it’s turtles all the way down
In the beginning God created
heaven and earth
before that he was bored
and he put his turtle on a turtle
and it’s turtles all the way down
If you film all of creation
cut out the frames
paste them together
cut them sideways
lay them out
and watch the movie it creates
You’ll see a turtle
on a turtle on a turtle on a turtle on a turtle
on a turtle on a turtle on a turtle
And it’s turtles all the way down.
