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
