Little fish

Wouldn't you make a wish

For me wouldn't you see

That I could take the hitch

O' little fish

Stuck in a dish

Couldn't you see

Could you picture this

A bowl is petite compared to the ocean where life is so unique

Mermaids of wonder

And fisherman who plunder

Lost wishes and sunken ships

I bet you remember this

Little fish

The stories you tell

Do you know the one

Of the pyramids that fell

Or maybe you can break your vow of silence

And tell your tale

of how you ventured far and wide

To cure your wanderlust

Did you marry

Did you have fear

When your landscape

Became so small

Small world big fish

Could you picture this?

A pirate with a hearty crew

That tried to make you into stew

But you made it out alive didn't you?

O' brave fish

How'd you end up like this

Nowhere to go

And lost from your home

So now I'll empty you into the salt

So now you are free

There now, little fish,

Come back with stories to tell me
