King Missile - The Fish That Played The Ponies lyrics

Once upon a time Somewhere in the ocean somewhere There lived a fish The king of the fish The king of the fish was not happy He wanted to be more than just to be the king of the fish He wanted to be king of the whole ocean He wanted power over the whales and porpoises Giant sea tortoises Mollusks, crustaceans, and all the underwater plant life And he wanted to own all the salt in the ocean He was a big fat pig of a fish His greed angered the ocean But the ocean knew the fish would never succeed Then the fish learned to walk on the land He stood upon the shore and laughed at the ocean He climbed trees and learned the secret of fire He took a job as a investment banker And spent a lot of time at the racetrack Playing the ponies The ocean swore revenge Then one day The fish was vacationing in the Caribbean Sunbathing on the beach Laughing at the ocean A giant wave came and swallowed the little fish up And he drowned This is the fable of the fish that played the ponies It is important to keep in mind that in this story The fish is not meant to symbolize Christ
