All this talk of denizens of the brine made me think of Michael Smith:
You have hundreds of miles to go says I Take this fish to the land of the Finn For the Finn woman knows more than I do so fly To the land the blue fireworks burn in Schlep this fish child Across the wild tundra tonight While a pitiless pale moon above Shines on me lighting whale oil And sitting at table And dreaming of someone to love For though reams of Lapland laddies urgin' mergin' Would send me little paper love notes of intent No one could make me consent to dent my virginhood Like someone venting sentimental on a sturgeon would And though I'm just a girl from God knows where Still I'm a dreamer too I've got a fantasy I'd love to share With each and every one of you
For sometime now I've had this secret wish Someone would send me a love letter on a fish For a fish and a love letter Just seem to go together The sooner I get my fish wish The better I would say Someone could start out To pour his heart out on a trout I'd read and sigh and then I'd fry it my delish Even when the weather's sunny And it makes the mailbox smell real funny Send me a love letter on a fish
Oh I would love to hear from you on one condish That when you pitch your woo you pitch it on a fish It would give me such a thrill To read I love you on each gill Or darlin' on a marlin Things profounder on a flounder If you'd fain complete your pass Don't be crass employ a bass Yeah use that shad for a pad oh I insish Ten million postcards on a school Holy mackerel Batman cool Send me a love letter on a fish
Send me a love letter darlin Send me a love letter on a fish Show me that you like me Tuna melt me smelt me pike me Send me a love letter on a fish If you think I'm super Say it with a grouper When you're mushy on a sushi I'm in blish If you want a date Get out your Papermate and Decorate a skate Send me a love letter on a fish
I wonder why do I find it so romantic That your stationery hails from mid-Atlantic Why billets-doux upon some shrimp Can make this lady's knees go limp Wanna kiss me in the dark Forty-one cents and a shark Send me some real postal scales just for the halibut Don't leave me languishing on ice like Lillian Gish What I'm sharing here is show your caring On a herring from the Bering Send me a love letter on a fish And though most ladies that you know would go oh ish Send me a love letter Don't use an Irish setter Send me a love letter on a fish And seal it with a kish
