Verse 1
Everybody wants something from me.
They never seem happy just to let me be.
Another call and another hand held out.
I’m like a fish in the deep blue sea.
Everybody wants to take a bite out of me.
And big fish can really stress me out.
Chorus
But that’s alright I’m ok
I live to play on another day.
I’m not sure how long I’ll last
But I’m learning how to swim real fast.
Swim real fast
Verse 2
I got a cutie down by the reef.
She smiles at me every time we meet.
Says I’m cute and really sweet.
Showing off for her one day.
Flipping my tail and swimming away.
And a big old shark nearly took me out.
Chorus
But that’s alright I’m ok
I live to play on another day.
I’m not sure how long I’ll last
But I’m learning how to swim real fast.
Swim real fast
