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 flow-er
Would be its offering
Of-- love to the des--ert.
And the des-ert,
So dry and lone-ly,
That the creatures all
Appreciate- the ef---fort.
Et le jackalope a dit:
"Je voudrais 'tre un y'ti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et m'en aller loin d'ici"
Mais le y'ti- a- dit:
"Je voudrais '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.
