lyrics

A fish in a bowl
can grow very old
and still stay small.
still stay small.
But put in the sea,
then he will be
not as small,
no not at all.

Oh how I wish
that you were a fish
who still stayed small,
still stayed small.
But I know some day
you will swim away,
and never call,
never call.

Then you'll have a life,
and find a fishy wife,
but that's not all,
that's not all.
Then you'll have a kid,
just like your daddy did,
who won't stay small,
won't stay small.

Oh how you'll wish,
that you were a fish,
oh don't we all,
don't we all,
who had grown old,
inside a bowl,
and still stayed small,
still stayed small.

If I were a fish in the sea
with friends and fish family,
then I wouldn't have any cares,
and I could piss anywhere.

I drove to the bay,
from San Jose,
to Monterey,
Monterey.
Where they have a tank,
not from an army base,
where fishes play
every day.

To smell the smell
of fish and kelp
every day,
every day
would make me sick,
but it'd be worth it
to keep you safe.
Every day.
