See how he dives
From the rocks with a zoom!
See how he darts
Through his watery room
See how he darts
Through his watery room
Past crabs and eels
And green seeweed,
Past fluffs of sandy
Minnow feed!
And green seeweed,
Past fluffs of sandy
Minnow feed!
See how he swims
With a swerve and a twist,
A flip of the flipper,
A flick of the wrist!
With a swerve and a twist,
A flip of the flipper,
A flick of the wrist!
Quicksilver-quick,
Softer than spray,
Down he plunges
And sweeps away;
Softer than spray,
Down he plunges
And sweeps away;
Before you can utter
Words like "Dill pickle"
Or "Apple butter,"
Words like "Dill pickle"
Or "Apple butter,"
Back up he swims
Past Sting Ray and Shark,
Out with a zoom,
A whoop,
Past Sting Ray and Shark,
Out with a zoom,
A whoop,
Before you can say
Whatever you wish,
He plops at your side
With a mouthful of fish!
Whatever you wish,
He plops at your side
With a mouthful of fish!
