lyrics

purple fishes fly away
water falls into the blue lake
it's a swim upstream on somedays
but Turtle has to lay her eggs

he got 3 wishes when he found that lamp
a magic carpet was the best he made
and the girl from Kansas had it made
but she went home when she should a stayed

i've met some children on my way
talked to boys in the willow shade
we went swimming on the last day
gave me a bottle of wine

paper horses run away
that little child runs all day
a yellow bird and a black snake
a glass of beer and chips

purple fishes fly away
water falls into the blue lake
it's a swim upstream on somedays
but Turtle has to lay her eggs
