The Fish That Played The Ponies Lyrics - Singles - King Missile

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 laugh 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
