MOCK TURTLE: Just cry and it's a crisis
You sigh and put the "si" back in "silence"
My tortoise taught "don't pee in the sea"
Give into your grief like me
MOCK MOCK TURTLE: Don't bother with denial
Bereavement is the key to survival
That tortoise was my husband you see
Live and breathe your grief like me
ALICE: Mock me I'm living in shock here
My cheeks thick with tears
MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: My heart is a dark polar block, dear
No one comes near
MOCK MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: No loss could ever match mine
They weep the weep but I lost my Rabbi
My tortoise taught us Torah, you see
Meet yourself in grief like me
ALICE: Mock me I'm living in shock here
Such pearls are my tears
MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: My heart is a mock Loch Ness Monster
ALICE & MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: Just don't come near
MOCK MOCK TURTLE: My life has lost all porpoise
ALICE: I lost my hare
MOCK MOCK TURTLE: I lost my hair
MOCK TURTLE: I lost my tortoise
So, so, I sing King Lear-y-ily
MOCK MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: Kvell within your shell like me
Just build a wall
MOCK MOCK TURTLE: That's better
MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: Retract your head
MOCK TURTLE: You won't get wetter
MOCK MOCK MOCK MOCK TURTLE: Love is brief
MOCK MOCK TURTLE: And time's a thief
TURTLES: Climb into your shell of grief
MOCK TURTLE, spoken: So sweet...
