The Half Intelligent Fish by Three Fish Lyrics

The half-intelligent fish thought
"My guide is gone. I should have gone with him, but I didn't
And now I've lost my chance to escape
I wish that I had gone with him"

So the half-intelligent fish mourned the absence of his guide for a while
And then thought to himself
"What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets?
Perhaps if I pretend to be dead!
I'll belly up on the surface and float like a weed floats
Just giving myself totally to the water. To diе before I die"
So hе did that

And so he bobbed up and down
Helpless, within the arm's reach of the fisherman
"Look at this! The biggest fish of all is dead."
One of the men lifted him up by the tail
Spat on him, and threw him up on the ground
He rolled over and over and slid secretly near the water
And then, back in
