Three Little Fishies Lyrics by Missy Higgins

Famous Friends: Celebrating 50 Years of Play School

2016

[Intro]
Just gonna put that last one there
Hi, I'm Missy
We're in an amazing underwater world today in play school
With lots of colorful, shimmery fish
I know a song about a fish that goes swimming in the sea
It goes like this, sing along

[Verse 1]
Down in the meadow in a itty-bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishy too
"Swim," said the mama fishy, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

[Chorus]
Boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
A-boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
Boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

[Verse 2]
"Stop!" Cried the mama fish, "Or you will get lost"
But the three little fishies didn't wanna be bossed
The three little fishies went out on a spree
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea

[Chorus]
A-boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
A-boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
Boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea

[Verse 3]
"Whee!" Said the little fishies, "Here's a lot of fun
We'll swim in the sea 'til the day is done"
So they swam and they swam, and it was a lark
'Til all of a sudden they saw a shark

[Chorus]
A-boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
Boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
A-boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
'Til all of a sudden they saw a shark

[Verse 4]
"Help!" Said the little fishies, "Look at all the whales!"
And quick as they could, they turned on their tails
And back to the pool in the meadow they swam
And they swam and they swam back over the dam

[Chorus]
A-boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
Boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
A-boom-boom, dit-em, dat-em, wat-em-choo
And they swam and they swam back over the dam

[Outro]
Can you swim like a fish too?
Or maybe make some out of paper
Bye
