Текст песни: The Fish that Played the Ponies + перевод

Once upon a time,

Somewhere in the Ocean somewhere,

There lived a Fish,

The King of the Fish

The King of the Fish was not happy

He wanted to be more than just to be the King of the Fish

He wanted to be King of the whole Ocean

He wanted power over the whales and porpoises,

Giant sea tortoises,

Mollusks, crustaceans, and all the underwater plant life

And he wanted to own all the Salt in the Ocean

He was a big fat pig of a Fish

His greed angered the Ocean,

But the ocean knew the Fish would never succeed

Then the Fish learned to walk on the land

He stood upon the shore and laugh at the Ocean

He climbed trees and learned the secret of fire

He took a job as a investment banker,

And spent a lot of time at the racetrack,

Playing the Ponies

The ocean swore revenge

Then one day,

The Fish was vacationing in the Caribbean,

Sunbathing on the beach,

Laughing at the Ocean

A giant Wave came and swallowed the little Fish up

And he drowned

This is the fable of the Fish that played the Ponies

It is important to keep in mind that in this story,

The Fish is not meant to symbolize Christ
