Lyrics

Gary Ashby

Gary Ashby
Have you seen Gary?
Family tortoise
Are you stuck on your back, without me?
Dogs running free

Dad's got blood on his head
We gave you our family name
In the lockdown, you escaped

Gary Ashby
It was a bad surprise
Have you seen Gary?
With his tinfoil ball
He used to love to kick it with his stumpy legs

Shoop-shoop-shoop-shoop
Shoop-shoop-shoop-shoop
Shoop-shoop-shoop-shoop

Gary Ashby
Have you seen Gary?
Family tortoise
Are you stuck on your back, without me?
Dogs running free
Gary Ashby
