lyrics

in my backyard there is a pond as great as any ocean there are fish of every size and shape and colour and emotion and i was looking in the pond today beyond my own reflection when i saw the nearest thing i’ve ever seen to fish perfection. one fish sang a song so true and all the other fish were cheering and when they turned and sang to me here’s what i was hearing. it sounded something like come on in the water’s great. i asked that fish that sang so true why would you be at my place when you could be in a bigger brighter pond up in the rat race? and the fish said oh i think you know exactly what i’m thinking. now it’s time you joined us all here in this pond life we’re all drinking. so come on in the water’s great. you’re not too early you’re not too late to come on in the water’s great. my neighbour she looked across the fence and i was crouching in the water and she said you’re up to something fishy pete and i said yeah, right, sorta and i don’t know what happened next, who waved the magic wand but i do know that there’s room for you too here in this small pond. so come on in the water’s great, you’re not too early you’re not too late to come on in the water’s great.
