[Horace:]
|
A little fish in a big pond has plenty of room to swim
|
But swimming around are big fish all ready to pounce on him
|
|
Back to his little pond he starts to roam
|
The little fish spreads his fins and begins to swim back home
|
|
That's me, a little fish in a big pond, all wrong
|
That's me, a little fish where a little fish don't belong
|
|
A little man in a big town gets butterflies in his dome
|
I'm ready to spread my fin and begin to swim back home
|
To the little pond where a little fish and a little man belong
|
|
[Maizie:]
|
A little fish in a big pond has gotta have lots of heart
|
For swimming around are big fish, but if he's the least bit smart
|
|
Back to his little pond he doesn't go
|
The little fish spreads his fins and begins to grow, grow, grow
|
|
That's you, a little fish in a big pond, all right
|
Me too, a little fish, but we gotta stand up and fight
|
|
A little man in a big town don't have to get out and roam
|
Stop taking it on the chin and begin to feel at home
|
In the bigger pond where the bigger fish and the bigger men belong
|
