[Verse 1]
My finger paints aren't great, but I still put them on the fridge
Remind me of the fun I had whenever I look at it
And I am not Picasso or da Vinci or who knows who
No, I am not the best by far, but I sure like what I do

[Chorus]
Slow down, take a nap
I'll catch up to you
Run laps around me, but we'll both burn out soon
The finish line's close and you have nothing to prove
And though I'm behind, I need a nap too
Cause even though I'm a tortoise, I have nothing to prove
Though I'm a tortoise, I have nothing to prove

[Verse 2]
A slap on the wrist
A tomb made of stone
A casket awaiting a nap
We'll all end up seven bеlow
Bury me in my favorite hat
The mеdals I've won from the races I've run
On my fridge back home with my cat
We all end up seven below
So who gives a crap about all that
I run my mouth and I will until I'm old
And things may not be as the forecaster told
Guess they wanted me to show off what I do
But I couldn't care any less to show you
Cause even though I'm a hare, I've got nothing to prove
Though I'm a hare, I've got nothing to prove
[Bridge]
Two lovely little caskets, cardboard boxes, earthy holes
Can I hang my favorite pictures on the walls of moss and mold?
When I reach my little casket, cardboard box, earthy hole
If I reach the end before you, will you lend your hand to hold?

[Chorus]
Slow down, take a nap
I'll catch up to you, run laps around me
But we'll both burn out soon
They'll pit us against one another, it's true
And though we are different, we have nothing to prove
Though I'm a tortoise, I have nothing to prove

[Outro]
Though I'm a hare, I have nothing to prove
I'm a tortoise, I have nothing to prove
