Lyrics
8 Little Fishes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm looking over, under and in
Scrutinizing, analyzing.
Looking for the goof in the roof
Knowing full well only time will tell
Won't you help me if you can ?
Tryin' hard to be a man
And as I leave my tender youth
To seek no more the truth
But grow it...
EIGHT LITTLE FISHES fry me
Aubergine eyes
Shagged properly
EIGHT LITTLE FISHES fry me
Aubergine eyes
Shagged properly
Won't you help me if you can ?
Trying hard to be a man
And as the day rolls into night
We'll taste the sweet delight
Together...
EIGHT LITTLE FISHES fry me
Aubergine eyes
Shagged properly
EIGHT LITTLE FISHES fry me
Aubergine eyes
Shagged properly
EIGHT LITTE FISHES fry me
Aubergine eyes
(spoken)
