Tree Hugger

Flower said, "I wish I was a tree"

The tree said, "I wish I could be

A different kind of tree"

The cat wished that it was a bee

The turtle wished that it could fly

Really high into the sky

Over rooftops and then dive

Deep into the sea

And in the sea there is a fish

A fish that has a secret wish

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it

And in the sea there is a fish

A fish that has a secret wish

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it

And the flower would be

Its offering of love to the desert

And the desert so dry and lonely

That the creatures all appreciate the effort

Et le jackalope a dit

"Je voudrais être un yeti

Pour voler dans la nuit

Et m'en aller loin d'ici"

Mais le yeti a dit

"Je voudrais être un monstre marin

Pour pouvoir rentrer dans la mer

De tous les requins"

And the rattlesnake said

"I wish I had hands so I could hug you like a man"

And then the cactus said, "But don't you understand?"

"My skin is covered with sharp spikes

That'll stab you like a thousand knives

A hug would be nice

But hug my flower with your eyes"

Till the flower said, "I wish I was a tree"

The tree said, "I wish I could be

A different kind of tree"

The cat wished that it was a bee

The turtle wished that it could fly

Really high into the sky

Over rooftops and then dive

Deep into the sea

And in the sea there is a fish

A fish that has a secret wish

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it

And in the sea there is a fish

A fish that has a secret wish

A wish to be a big cactus

With a pink flower on it

And the flower would be

Its offering of love to the desert

And the desert so dry and lonely

That the creatures all appreciate the effort
