Four Fish

There were four fish friends in the sea
Trying to see what they could see
Each one said, "you, you, you, and me
Must try to do something we be."

Four fish friends swimming together in the sea

So they talked together for a while
And together decided to swim a mile
Not to test their own guts or guile
But because it brought them a smile.

And this is what you should do too
Without complaining or further ado
Not because of what it brings to you
But because it's the right thing to do.
