The Goldfish

The Laurie Berkner Band

Lots of little fish were sleeping on a rock
In the bottom of the ocean
They lifted up their heads
And they shook out their tails
And they said, "let's go swimming"

Let's go swimming, let's go swimming
Yeah, let's go swimming
Let's go swimming, let's go swimming
In the bottom of the ocean

Then the little fish got so very, very tired
That they came back to the rock
They put down their heads
And they put down their tails
And they took a little nap

And when they woke up
They were a little bit dirty
So they took a shower

And they washed their hair
And they washed their ears
And they washed their tummies
And they washed their very long, fishy beards
And they washed their noses
And they washed their toes-es
And then they said

"Wait a minute, we're fish!
We don't take showers!"

Let's go swimming, let's go swimming
Yeah, let's go swimming
Let's go swimming, let's go swimming
In the bottom of the ocean

Then the little fish got so very, very tired
That they come back to the rock
They put down their heads
And they put down their tails
And they took a little nap

And when they woke up
They decided to ride their bicycles

So they rode to the left
And they rode to the right
And they rode all day
And they rode all night
They rode down the hill
And then faster still
And then they said

"Wait a minute, we're fish!
We don't ride bicycles!"

Let's go swimming, let's go swimming
Yeah, let's go swimming
Let's go swimming, let's go swimming
In the bottom of the ocean

Then the little fish got so very, very tired
That they come back to the rock
And they put down their heads
And they put down their tails
And they took a little nap

And when they woke up
They decided to brush their teeth

So they got out their tooth brush
And their toothpaste
And they squeezed a little on
They really liked the taste
Then they put it in their mouth
They brushed north and south
Ch-k-ch, ch-k-ch, ch-k-ch
Ch-k-ch, ch-k-ch, ch-k-ch
And then they said

"Wait a minute, we're fish!
We don't brush our teeth!"

Let's go swimming, let's go swimming
Yeah, let's go swimming
Let's go swimming, let's go swimming
In the bottom of the ocean

Let's go swimming, let's go swimming
Yeah, let's go swimming
Let's go swimming, let's go swimming
In the bottom of the ocean
