A Goldfish Dream
One day a goldfish jumped out of a stream
And came to Earth with just one dream
Something that would totally change his life
This goldfish wanted a human wife
He wanted to live and breathe on land
And to walk in the park with his wife, fin in hand
He wanted to be famous and work on TV
But he was tragically squashed by a falling tree!

And tigers tails were full of holes

Who live on steak and taters,
Beans and cornbread, ain't too bad

But my sensible non-sense has its way
To get the point across
Ritalin they could use
To make this sensible

I met a lady in a bar
A lady with a plan
And when I asked her for her name
She said, "Anita Mann."

Tonight I'll wake
to see the sun
And say "good morning"
to everyone.
I'll comb my teeth
and floss my hair
Put on my ski suit
