Ten Tiny Turtles

There was no harmony, he sang it all by himself, but I think it was meant to sound like the song "Southern Cross" (I think) by CS&N.

Well, it definitely wasn't like OHIO. LOL!

The skit is on the "Silly Songs" video.

We like the part about rutabagas "with the dimples on their knees"

and "ten of those tasty sprouts...the ones that they call brussels."

I would love to get a copy of Ten Tiny Turtles. E-mail me and let me know how to work out the details.

Hello. I certainly have the famous 'ten tiny turtles on the telephone' segment on tape. It was on the episode where Big Bird wants to do the alphabet in the bird accent for the animal film festival. The 'ten tiny turtles' is an animated segment/song where the ten turtles talk to the grocery men, because they need the fruits and the veggies. It went like

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Ten tiny turtles on the telephone
Talking to the grocery men

We would like some lettuce
Would you send us ten heads please?
And ten sweet potatoes
And ten rutabegas with their dimples on their knees

If anybody wants it, I'll make a copy of it for you.
