Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Were three little fishes and their mama fishy too
"Swim" said the mommy fishy, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

"Stop!" said the mama fishy, "You'll get lost!"
But the three little fishes didn't want to be bossed
So the three little fishes set off on a spree
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea

"Whee!" yelled the fishes, "Oh! here's a lot of fun"
"Swim in the sea till the day is done"
So they swam and they swam, it was all, a lark
Till all of a sudden they saw a shark

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Till all of a sudden they saw a shark

"Whoa!" cried the fishes, "Oh! look at the whales"
Quick as they could they turned on their tails
Back to the pool in the meadow they swam
And they swam and they swam back over the dam

Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo
And they swam and they swam back over the dam
