They fished and they fished
Way down in the sea,
Down in the sea a mile,
They fished among all the fish in the sea
For the fish with the deep sea smile.
One fish came up from the deep of the sea,
From down in the sea a mile,
It had blue green eyes
And whiskers three
But never a deep sea smile.
One fish came up from the deep of the sea,
From down the sea a mile,
With electric lights up and down his tail,
But never a deep sea smile.
They fished and they fished
Way down in the sea,
Down in the sea a mile,
They fished among all the fish in the sea
For the fish with the deep sea smile.
But never a deep sea smile.
One fish came up with terrible teeth,
One fish with long strong jaws,
One fish came up with long stalked eyes,
One fish with terrible claws.
They fished all through the ocean deep
For many and many a mile,
And they caught a fish with a laughing eye
But none with a deep sea smile.
And then one day they got a pull
From down in the sea a mile,
And when they pulled the fish into the boat
He smiled a deep sea smile.
And as he smiled, the hook got free
And then, what a deep sea smile!
He flipped his tail and swam away
Down in the sea a mile.
