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 deserts 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 the 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 deserts so dry and lonely That the creatures all appreciate the effort
