[Intro]
Dad…?
Why you wearing that again…?

[Background]
My turtleneck… my turtleneck…

[Verse 1]
Dad, why you got that thing on your neck?
It’s so hot, are you not sweaty yet?
Mama said “take it off”
You said “no”
Why you say no?
I don’t know

[Background]
My turtleneck… don’t touch my turtleneck…

You say “go sleep”
But I hear you talk
“I’ma lay you down”— Dad what??
I just want water
Now I’m scared
Why you talking kinda weird…

[Background]
In my turtleneck… my turtleneck…

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it stuck?
Did it break?
Is your neck
Gonna shake?

[Background]
Never take it off… never take it off…

[Chorus]
Take it off, take it off
Dad, I wanna see
Why your neck got clothes
But your legs are free?

Take it off, take it off
This is really strange
You got no more pants
But the neck won’t change?

[Background]
My turtleneck… (my turtleneck…)
Don’t you dare… (don’t you dare…)

---

[Verse 2]
Dad, I knock, you didn’t say “wait”
Now I’m here and it’s too late…
Mama laughing, you say “go!”
Why your voice sound so slow?

[Background]
Baby… turtleneck…

You say “privacy”
But I live here too
If it’s just a shirt
Why you act like that, dude?

[Background]
It’s my turtleneck… my identity…

[Bridge]
Maybe monster…
Maybe bite…
Maybe turtle…
Hold too tight…

(Dad… why you sweating…?)

[Background]
It’s not a shirt…
It’s who I am…
My turtleneck… my turtleneck…

[Final Chorus]
Take it off, take it off
I just wanna know
Why your neck so special
Why you love it so?

Take it off, take it off
I will tell my friends
My dad wears a neck shirt
That will never end

[Background]
MY TURTLENECK
MY TURTLENECK

[Outro]
Dad…
Next time…
I knock louder.

[Final]
…my turtleneck…
…my turtleneck…
