Lyrics

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 flower would be its offering
Of love to the desert
And the desert, so dry and lonely
That the creatures all appreciate the effort
Et le jackalope a dit
« Je voudrais être un yéti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et m'en aller loin d'ici »
Mais le yéti a dit
« Je voudrais être 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
"But 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"
So 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 flower would be its offering
Of love to the desert
And the desert, so dry and lonely
That the creatures all appreciate the effort
