And in the sea there is a fish,

A fish that has a secret wish,
D
A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it.

And the flower
              C
Would be its offering
      D          G
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,

               G
Appreciate the effort.

Et le chacalot a dit:
C
"Je voudrais être un yéti
D
Pour voler dans la nuit

Et m'envoler loin d'ici"

C
"Je veux être un monstre marin
D
Pour pouvoir sauter dans la mer
G
De tous les requins"

And the rattlesnake said,
                  C
"I wish I had hands so

My skin is covered with sharp spikes
         C
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
D
A hug would be nice,
           G
But hug my flower with your eyes."
