Deep down and under the kingdom of Scotland, the kindliest reptile once swam
Said sorry to fishes before he would eat them though fishes do not understand
To practice his English for that day he dreamed of when he might make friends up on land

When at last he emerged with dazzling rainbows astream down his huge pearly shell
The humans shot arrows and none of them heard the speech Henry delivered so well
So he wept a river that flowed to the ocean where he would be safe from their yells

He lived with the dinosaurs long long ago and laughs with the whales in the sea
He chases off bullies but everyone knows he's the best friend that could ever be
As big as a nation, and shy and so patient, the children all long to meet
Henry the Loch Ness Turtle

He swam to the Arctic to chat with the orcas and asked all the birds in the air
They said it was pointless and he grew despondent until he met Paddington Bear
Who said "Find a child, to love and to cherish, for children are honest and fair"

Centuries later in cold Massachusetts, he saw Priya crying alone
So they talked and they talked as she lay on his shell of the meanies who jeered "go back home"
And swift as a falcon their tears turned to wonder that this bright big world was their own

He lived with the dinosaurs long long ago and laughs with the whales in the sea
He chases off bullies but everyone knows he's the best friend that could ever be
As big as a nation, and shy and so patient, the children all long to meet
Henry the Loch Ness Turtle

Priya grew older, and Henry paid visits, together with more and more friends
Her hair turned to grey and she wondered and worried would she ever see him again
So she built a raft and sailed to the ocean to smile one more time with her friend

Deep down and under the verdant kelp forests, the kindliest reptile still plays
He swims with the children who love every color in the magical reef, so they say
Where Priya and Henry and their friends and his friends play hide and go seek to this day

He lived with the dinosaurs long long ago and laughs with the whales in the sea
He chases off bullies but everyone knows he's the best friend that could ever be
As big as a nation, and shy and so patient, the children all long to meet
