AN INVITATION.
Little fishes, little fishes,
Won't you listen to our wishes?
Come, come, come, and bite!
Pull the float down out of sight!
Won't you listen to our wishes?
Come, come, come, and bite!
Pull the float down out of sight!
Don't you find it dull down there?
Only water everywhere!
Never anyone to talk to,
Only just one way to walk, too!
Only water everywhere!
Never anyone to talk to,
Only just one way to walk, too!
Here it's much more interesting;
I know where a lark is nesting,
Over there among the broom;
And the cowslips are in bloom.
I know where a lark is nesting,
Over there among the broom;
And the cowslips are in bloom.
And so fast the hay is growing,
It will soon be ripe for mowing.
There's such lots of fun about:
Won't you let me help you out?
It will soon be ripe for mowing.
There's such lots of fun about:
Won't you let me help you out?
