The flower said, "I wish I was a tree"
|
The tree said, "I wish I could be
|
A different kind of tree"
|
The cat wished that it was a bee
|
The turtle wished that it could fly
|
Really high into the sky
|
Over rooftops and then dive
|
Deep into the sea
|
|
And in the sea there is a fish
|
A fish that has a secret wish
|
A wish to be a big cactus
|
With a pink flower on it
|
And in the sea there is a fish
|
A fish that has a secret wish
|
A wish to be a big cactus
|
With a pink flower on it
|
|
And the flower
|
Would be its offering
|
Of love to the desert
|
And the desert
|
So dry and lonely
|
That the creatures all
|
Appreciate the effort
|
|
Et le jackalope a dit
|
"Je voudrais A¨£tre un yeti
|
Pour voler dans la nuit
|
Et m'en aller loin d'ici"
|
Mais le yeti a dit
|
"Je voudrais A¨£tre un monstre marin
|
Pour pouvoir rentrer dans la mer
|
De tous les requins"
|
|
And the rattlesnake said
|
"I wish I had hands so
|
I could hug you like a man"
|
And then the cactus said
|
"Don't you understand
|
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
|
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
|
A hug would be nice
|
But hug my flower with your eyes"
|
|
The flower said, "I wish I was a tree"
|
The tree said, "I wish I could be
|
A different kind of tree"
|
The cat wished that it was a bee
|
The turtle wished that it could fly
|
Really high into the sky
|
Over rooftops and then dive
|
Deep into the sea
|
|
And in the sea there is a fish
|
A fish that has a secret wish
|
A wish to be a big cactus
|
With a pink flower on it
|
And in the sea there is a fish
|
A fish that has a secret wish
|
A wish to be a big cactus
|
With a pink flower on it
|
|
And the flower
|
Would be its offering
|
Of love to the desert
|
And the desert
|
So dry and lonely
|
That the creatures all
