lyrics

If I were a fish,
and you were a fish,
I would swim to your school everyday.

Maybe I'd take you
out for a dip
in the air above the bay.

Would you love me the same,
or would you be ashamed
to be so in love with a fish?

Would you still sing me songs,
or would you think it wrong
to be so intimate with a fish?

If I were a fish,
and you were a fish,
I would fish-kiss you on your fish-lips.

I would lead you away
from the hooks and the bait
that those humans try to catch us fish with.

Would you splash me with your tail?
Would you rub your fins along my scales,
or would you think it was weird that I was a fish?

Would you believe me if I told
you that you're so beautiful,
or would you be disgusted with yourself as a fish?

If I were a fish,
and you were a fish,
I would make you a bed to lay your fish-head.

I would sing you
lullabies and bring you
anything you wished.
