[rev. May. 26, 2021]

There's too many fish in the ocean
I'm the one you should catch
I just hope that I'm big enough
That you won't put me back

There's two kind of fish in the ocean
I'm the one you should catch
I just hope that I'm big enough
That you won't throw me back

Hey Mr. Catfish, I've seen you before
You looked a little different standing at my door
Stepping on my carpet, stepping on my tail
Trying to make your biggest sale

You're a slippery cat with no sense of scale
If I wanted a goldfish you'd sell me a whale
There's good fish and bad fish and dead fish and bones
But I'm something special for you to take home

Too many fish in the ocean
I'm the one you should catch
I just hope I'm big enough
That you won't put me back

In a school in the lost city of Atlantis
Dining on squid and a ray called Mantis
I met you on the deck of a sunken ship
In a dream where the Titanic was a two way trip

The Seven Wonders of the sea
What more could a good fish need
Well some silly salmon left all this
To take a leap into the mouth of a hungry hungry beast

Too many fish in the ocean
I'm the one you should catch
I just hope I'm big enough
That you won't put me back

Too many fish in the ocean
I'm the one you should catch
I just hope I'm big enough
I just hope I'm big enough
That you won't put me back

Good fish
Bad fish
Dead fish
Bones

Good fish
Bad fish
Dead fish...

(Goodbye! Gold! Fish!)

I just hope I'm big enough

There's too many fish in the ocean
I'm the one you should catch
I just hope I'm big enough
That you won't put me back

Too many fish in the ocean
I'm the one you should catch
I just know I'm big enough
That you won't throw me back

Too many fish
Too many fish
Too many fish
Too many fish

Too many fish
Too many fish
Too many fish

Good fish
Bad fish
Dead fish
Bones

One fish
Two fish
Three fish
Bones
