Turtle Stu

Verse 1

Stu lights one up as he sets the table low

Ash drops on his flip-flops while the guests shuffle slow

Kids with pale faces and wild empty eyes

Gather round the backyard, searching for a prize

Pre-Chorus

He’s got secrets in his shell, hidden deep in the glow

Birthday hats on the heads of the ones in the know

Circles drawn in icing, rituals begin

Every kid’s invited, but not all are kin

Chorus

Flaming turtle in the backyard, munching Oreos slow

Kids laughing in the sun, yeah, they all wanna know

How he keeps that fire burning with a smile so wide

At this birthday bash, he's rolling with that crunchy pride

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Pass the snacks around

Oh oh oh

Burnin' up the ground

Verse 2

Candles on the cake, but he’s stealing the show

Chocolate on his shell, got a sugary glow

Parents taking photos, they can’t believe their eyes

This flaming turtle legend, he’s full of surprise

Pre-Chorus

Fire in his belly, still he never gets burned

Sharing cookies and laughter, yeah, it’s finally his turn

Chorus

Flaming turtle in the backyard, munching Oreos slow

Kids laughing in the sun, yeah, they all wanna know

How he keeps that fire burning with a smile so wide

At this birthday bash, he’s rolling with that crunchy pride

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Pass the snacks around

Oh oh oh

Burnin’ up the ground

Bridge

Stu’s drawing shapes with ashes, while the children hum a tune

Candles flicker, shadows move round the shell-lit living room

Chant the birthday secrets, hand in hand, side by side

Skipping in a circle, where the welcome never died

Verse 3

Night falls on the turtle’s hood, smoke curling in the air

Gifts are circles wrapped in ribbon, cryptic words to share

Kids bow to their leader, with frosting on their lips

Stu cracks a code beneath his shell, takes another sip

Pre-Chorus

Every legend starts strange, in the backyard dark

But laughter’s how they summon up that birthday spark

Chorus

Flaming turtle in the backyard, munching Oreos slow

Kids laughing in the gloom, yeah, they all wanna know

How he keeps that fire burning with a smile so wide

Cult leader Stu, rolling on with crunchy pride

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Pass the mints around

Oh oh oh

Secrets through the sound
