Fish Are Orderly

Fish are orderly, fish have rules

Everyone knows that fish have schools

Fish are swimming in the clear, blue stream

And every night the little fish dream

Of flying across the sky

Just flying, and they wonder why

They’ve got to stay in the shivery water

And swim, swim, swim

Birds are feathery, birds have beaks

Some have chirps and some have cheeps

Birds go soaring in the clouds all day

But in their dreams, dream that they

Are swimming in the clear blue stream

Just swimming, yes, the little birds dream

But a bird’s gotta do what a bird’s gotta do

And fly, fly, fly

Just as crazily, just as dumb

We’re unhappy with where we’re from

Something’s better than the thing we’ve got

We want to be whatever we’re not

But maybe - the way we are

Just maybe - will take us far

Maybe we ought to be ourselves

And say, say, say

That we’re okay

Frogs have green skin, frogs have pads

Frogs don’t listen to moms and dads

Sitting on lily pads, sitting on logs

In their thoughts these foolish frogs

Are dancing in a soft blue light

They’re dancing on a starry night

But a frog’s gotta stay where a frog’s gotta stay

And reebit, reebit, reebit

Just as crazily, just as dumb

We’re unhappy with where we’re from

Something’s better than the thing we’ve got

We want to be whatever we’re not

But maybe - the way we are

Just maybe - will take us far

Maybe we ought to be ourselves

And say, say, say

That we’re okay

Maybe we ought to be ourselves

And say, say, say

That we’re okay
