Bert The Turtle (The Duck And Cover Song): Dick 'Two Ton' Baker [1953]
There was a turtle by the name of Bert And Bert the Turtle was very alert When danger threatened him he never got hurt He knew just what to do
He'd duck and cover, duck and cover He'd hide his head and tail and four little feet He'd duck and cover!
He hid beneath his little shell until the coast was clear Then one by one his head and tail and legs would reappear By acting calm and cool he proved he was a hero, too For finding safety is the bravest wisest thing to do
And now his little friends are just like Bert And every turtle is very alert When danger threatens them they never get hurt They know just what to do
They duck and cover, duck and cover They hide their heads and tails and four little feet They duck and cover!
