The Fish With the Deep Sea Smile

4

They fished and they fished

Way down in the sea,

Down in the sea a mile,

They fished among ail the fish in the sea

For the fish with the deep sea smile.

One fish came up from the deep of the sea,

From down in the sea a mile,

It had blue green eyes and whiskers three

But never a deep sea smile.

One fish came up from the deep of the sea,

From down in the sea a mile,

With electric lights up and down his tail

But never a deep sea smile.

They fished and they fished

Way down in the sea,

Down in the sea a mile,

They fished among all the fish in the sea

For the fish with a deep sea smile.

One fish came up with terrible teeth,

One fish with long strong jaws,

One fish came up with long stalked eyes,

One fish came with terrible claws.

They fished all through the ocean deep

For many and many a mile,

And they caught a fish with a laughing eye

But none with a deep sea smile.

And then one day they got a pull

From down in the sea a mile,

And when they pulled the fish into the boat,

He smiled a deep sea smile.

And as he smiled, the hook got free

And then, what a deep sea smile!

He flipped his tail and swam away!

Down in the sea a mile.
