A tiny fish I'd like to be,
I would,
The great big oceans I would see,

I would;
I'd wiggle my fins and flap my tail,
I'd go as fast as any sail,

I'd see the wide world without fail,
I would.
I'd visit all the tropical fish,

I would,
I'd share with them my ev'ry wish,
I would;

I'd ride the whale, play with the eel,
And yet, alas! I'm sure I'd feel
I'd make for some big fish a meal,

I would.
