I Am A Fishy

I am a fishy swimmin' in the lake
I've got big fins but I ?
I made a mistake
I bit a hook and was jerked up out of the water
I squirmed and squirmed and squirmed
and squirmed
Squirmed and squirmed and squirmed
and squirmed
Squirmed and squirmed and squirmed
and squirmed around

There was this boy looking at me
He seemed excited as he could be
He held a pole
that held a string
that held a hook
that stuck in my mo-ou-ou-ou-uth

Let me tell ya' now
That hook, that hook, that hook
was no friend of?
That hook, that hook, that hook
was no friend of mine

He dropped me in the bucket
He dropped me in the bucket
He dropped me in the bucket
with other fishies my kind he dropped me

I was left thinking to myself
How am I going to get out of this mess?
I was left thinking to myself
How can I get away?

So, I splished, I splashed,
I splished and I splashed
And so I splished, splashed, splished
I splished and I splashed
There's no way out!
There's no way out, There's no way, There's no way, no way, no way!

Nothin could be worse than this!
Nothin could be worse than this!!
Nothin could be worse than this!!!
Just nothin, could be worse, than this!!!!

Just then, a dog came walking along
This dog, he stuck his nose into the bucket
Oh no, I thought, get away you dog
Get away, I don't want to be eaten by a dog
Get away, you dog. Get away, you dog!

But Hey! What do I care?
I'm stuck in this here bucket.
I can't get away!

Oh, Nothin could be worse than this!
Nothin could be worse than this!!
Nothin could be worse than this!!!

Just then, that dog, he stuck his nose....
and started to splish, splash, splish
his nose around the bucket
Splish, splash, splish
His nose around the bucket
Nose around the bucket
Until.... the.....

.... bucket tilted !
The bucket tilted !!
The bucket tilted !!!
The bucket FELL!!!!

Maybe! Maybe!
Maybe, I can be free!
So, I splished splashed across the dock
Splished splashed across the dock
Splished splashed across the dock
Back, Back, Back
Back, back, back
into the water !!
Ohhhhh, Yesssssssss!!!!

I am a fishy swimmin' DEEP in the lake
I've got big fins but, I ..... I made a mistake
But that's one mistake I'll never make again!
Cause I'm goin'' to swim WAY DOWN LOW
GOIN' SWIM WAY DOWN LOW
GOIN' SWIM WAY DOWN LOW
OH YEAH !!!!
