GARDEN BY THE SEA

When I was a young lad
I thought it quite delicious
To eat out with the fishes
In my garden by the sea

Now that i am older
My heart is overspilling
To these friends that I am grilling
My aquatic family

So take my hand in fin now
In great exhuberation
Our oceanic nation
Delves through sweet eternity

Someday time won't hold us
We'll all come home a swimmin'
The fish men and the women
In a joyful revelry

And when we get together
We'll find it most auspicious
To eat out with a fishes
In a garden by the sea
