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 yeti Pour voler dans la nuit Et m'en aller loin d'ici" Mais le yeti 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" Till 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
its really dorky, and i'll admit i really like the super dorky lyrics, i'm bilingual, in english its ok good, but the worst is its really great when they start to sing in french she say 'and the jackalope said, i wish i was a yeti, to fly at night far from here, then the yeti said i wish i was a sea monster so i could enter sea of sharks, but it really better in french
I agree with you, but also makes me think that if we can accept ourselves and stop thinking on being something different, in the end in our own way and place we can give love and joy to others like that flower that decorated the dessert. I love this song, it kinda brings me hope.
This is a horrible song and the lyrics make no sense. Just a bunch of rhyming words like a 3 year old wrote it. If this is a part of your childhood, I'm sorry for your childhood sucked.
The French part... And said jackalope I would be a yeti To fly To fly at night And go away far from here But the yeti said I want to be a sea monster To return to the sea Of all the sharks
