HEY, FISH FARMER

Fish grunt, click, whistle and cough

To one another,

As they swim about

But

They are fenced in

And fattened up into apefood.

But, it is wrong to restrain these swimmers.

And that is why we make our plea

HEY, FISH FARMER

Let them fish swim free

Let them swim all around the world,

Hydrodynamically.

It just ain’t right,

As you must know,

To put haddock in paddock

So let them trout out

And let the salmon run free

Let the bream beam

And the snappers snap

Hydrodynamically.

NO, FISH FARMER

Don’t constrain these finny beings

They can do better

Than be kept in by nets

Yes these fish got feelings

SO, FISH FARMER

Get humane with your Cod

Let the plaice go to every plaice

Let the skate take off

And let the dogfish go dogging

All around the scallops’ abode

Where the congers are all conging

Let the eels feel free

To go wherever they want

All along the Blue Whales’ road
