Christine Lavin - Snackin' lyrics

I am down here swimmin' around with my friends I'm pumpin' my gills flappin' my fins suddenly I see two shadows on the water looks like my favorite father and his daughter I hear the splash . . . I feel the ripple . . . come on gang time to nibble! let's go snackin' let's go snackin' when humans come to see us they call it fishin' they are dreamin' they are wishin' we are snackin' I have mastered the art of the munch around the danger zone my teeth are as sk**ed as a scalpel in a surgeon's hand and as finely honed humans think our brains are small they don't understand us fish at all we're quick studies we're no fools where do we learn these tricks? in schools they teach us snackin' let's go snackin' when humans come to see us they call it fishin' they are dreamin' they are wishin' we are snackin' I'll never forget that unlucky day the little girl caught me on her hook I saw my life flash before my eyes I thought that this was the end when I felt her little hands around my middle I gave her my most pitiful look. . . she felt so bad she felt so sad she threw me back now I'm with my friends! And we are snackin' (welcome back!) let's go snackin' (let's celebrate with a snack!) when humans come to see us they call it fishin' they are dreamin' they are wishin' we are snackin' when humans come to see us they call it fishin' but you will never ever catch me dancin' in their kitchen 'cause I'm snackin' I'm good at snackin' Oooh look! here comes some squid! (though in school we learned to call it calamari)
