Lyrics
If Wishes Were Fishes
If wishes were fishes I'd have a netful
I'd feed the hungry and fill up my table
I'd cook them for you any way I was able in many fine dishes
If wishes were fishes
If I had a dime for every time I regretted,
I would be wealthy
If I had antibiotics for each mistake
Everyone would be healthy
If the world warmed up a little bit each time
My resolve did falter
The ice caps would melt and resolve into dew
And we'd all be underwater
If maybe were babies, I'd have a houseful
I'd call them dinner and that'd be a mouthful
I'd keep them fed any way I was able
With many fine dishes
If wishes were fishes
(Don't say this is the last time
Don't call the game before it's over
Don't say this is the last time
Sad enough... don't say it's the last time)
If wishes were fishes, I'd have a netful
But I'd set them free, 'cause I'd be regretful
I'd let them swim on my kitchen table
In many fine dishes
If wishes were fishes
