Laurie Berkner Fast and Slow (The Rabbit and the Turtle) w/ art by Sean Qualls

Laurie Berkner Fast and Slow (The Rabbit and the Turtle) video with backgrounds by illustrator Sean Qualls.

"I don't wanna go slow
I go fast
I'm a rabbit
I hop and I jump and I dash
And I'll go whizzing by in the blink of an eye
Just like jet engine airplane
who speeds through the sky
I don't wanna go slow I fast

I don't wanna fast
I go slow
That's the way that I move
I'm a turtle you know
Join me as I go by
We can laugh
We can cry
We can talk about pie
We don't want to go fast we go slow

I don't wanna go slow
I go fast
I'm a rabbit
I hop and I jump and I dash
And I'll go whizzing by in the blink of an eye
Just like jet engine airplane
who speeds through the sky
I don't wanna go slow I fast

You don't want to go slow
You go fast
and you may find your missing the world you go past
crickets singing their sound
golden leaves on the ground
you might find something new
that you wouldn't have found
if you never went slow
only fast

So won't you slow down
and wait for me
take it slow, take it slow, take it slow
c'mon slow down
we can share all the new things we see
when we're slow,
here, we go
together we're slow

and other times I can go fast."

Hbkhhh7 said, "i think you shouldnt let you kids on youtube in the first place. it wasnt designed for children."

By whose design? Just like television, YouTube being appropriate for children is directly proportional to the amount of parental supervision.

i love this song........my son likes it too

[sserbin]

Wonderfully catchy song. However, it would be nice if it didn't reinforce the use of "slow" as an adverb. One who is slow goes slowly.

Wardrobe is awesome in this video!! Everyone looked staight out of a magazine.

I saw this on tv while babysitting my bff's niece with him and we taught her the whole thing so we can laugh at it's sexually suggestiveness. :)
