Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Title ' The goldfish song' From: Jacob B Date: 19 Jun 01 - 04:27 PM That's a different version than I know. The goldfish is a quiet pet He does not make a sound He just swims round and round and round And round and round and round And round and round and round and round And round and round and round And round and round and round and round And round and round and round. He does not neigh or moo or cluck He does not make a sound He just swims ... And when it is his time to eat I know where he'll be found He just swims ... And when it comes his time to mate I bet you fifteen pound He'll just swim ... And when at last he tried to speak He tried to make a sound The water ran right down his throat And the poor bugger drowned And drowned and drowned and ... The tune I know this to is an old hymn - sorry, but I don't know the name of it. Jacob |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE GOLDFISH From: vectis Date: 19 Jun 01 - 06:57 PM Hey Pavanne, How come you love all my trashiest songs? THE GOLDFISH The goldfish is a solemn bloke He never makes a sound he just swims round and round and round and round and round and round He swims beneath the water but He's never, ever drowned - he just swims round and round and round and round and round and round And when the mating season comes He doesn't leap or bound - he just swims round and round and round and round and round and round And if the missiles start to fall I'll bet an even pound - he'll just swim round and round and round and round and round and round Continue until dizzy |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Goldfish From: GUEST,Peter Nalder Date: 03 Nov 12 - 10:15 AM I used to sing this in folk clubs that would let me. It then went: The Goldfish is a solemn bloke He just swims round and round And round and round and round And round and round and round He lurks beneath the water but He never makes a sound And round and round and round And round and round and round He opens up his mouth to speak But you'll never hear a sound He just keeps swimminground and round And round and round and round Sometimes he swims towards the sky Sometimes towards the ground But generally he just swims round And round and round and round And when it's time for him to eat I'll bet an even pound He'll keep on swimming round and round And round and round and round And when the mating season comes He doesn't leap or bound He'll just keep swimming round and round And round and round and round And round and round and round And round and round and round And round and round and round And round and round and round |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Goldfish From: Leadfingers Date: 03 Nov 12 - 10:38 AM Graham Barnes of Robb Johnson's 'Ministry of Humour' introduced me to this - Lots of options for extra verses as :- The Goldfish is a Fiscal beast , He cares not for the floating pound He spends his time in a Goldfish bowl etc |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Goldfish From: Haruo Date: 27 Aug 13 - 03:40 PM Can't find Mike Pryor's "Kids love a goldfish" on the Mudcat. If nobody shows me where it is I guess I'll have to add it... |
