For Every Fish Lyrics by Adelaide Hall

Jamaica (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1957

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all that your dead
You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
Grow around you
So long, so long and thanks
For all the fish
The world's about to be destroyed
There's no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolve (around you)
Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
Pregnant women
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long and thanks
For all the fish
If I had just one last wish
I would like a tasty fish
If we could just change one thing
We would all have learned to sing
Come one and all
Man and Mammal
Side by Side in life's great gene pool
(Ooh ooh ooaah- ah ahh)
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long and thanks
For all the fish!
