The Fishie Song

The Fishie Song

In the rushing roaring water where the river falls
Lives a fishie darling fishie far from ocean squalls
He cavorts and swims and dives throughout the whole day long
And he never stops to listen when I sing this song

Now one day the fish looked up and something caught his eye
Far above the coursing river Sun shone in the sky
And the light it danced entranced and drove the fish insane
And he vowed to see the Sun though it might cause him pain

In the river flowing river fishie swam with speed
Ever dodging rocks and boulders that might him impede
Like a bird a flying bird he leapt up in the sky
And he laughed to see the Sun looking down from on high.

Now both sailors in the water and up in the air
Nobles looking from their towers they had quite a scare
For the fishie flew and floated though he had no wings
No not even in their dreams had they seen such a thing!
