lyrics
Yes I'm a baby fishy from a stream in St Louis.
I was meant for bigger things my mommy told me
So one night I swam the way to old New Orleans
Bye bye to the river now I have these ocean dreams
Promise I'll be coming home...
Promise I'll be coming home to you...to you
(Sam) Hi I'm Sam!
(Kareem) Hi Sam, I'm Kareem! Wanna swim with me?
(Sam) That sounds awesome! Let's go!
(Kareem) Ok!
Today I found the ocean all these friends and all this fun
We swam on the waves and in the early morning sun
But in the night time it got cold, I got a little sad
No one there to hug or kiss me where are mom and dad?
Promise I'll be coming home...
Promise I'll be coming home to you...to you
So back upstream I'm swimming yes I told all my friends
I'm still meant for bigger things I'll wait till I'm full finned
Promise I'll be coming home...
Promise I'll be coming home to you...to you
Here I come I'm swimming got a smile cause I'm glad
I miss my stream, the baseball team, I miss mom and dad
I'm swimming up stream
Said by to Kareem
(Kareem) Bye!
He's a dolphin
Chocolate ice cream (whoa there's a bear!)
Hope my rooms clean (whoa a tug boat!)
(Sam) I'm home!
Simultaneously:
(Dad) - Junior! Wanna go to the baseball game tomorrow? It's gonna be a great game!
(Mom) - Oh junior welcome home it's great to see you we missed you so much! Come on in, get warm and I'll make you dinner!
I was meant for bigger things my mommy told me
So one night I swam the way to old New Orleans
Bye bye to the river now I have these ocean dreams
Promise I'll be coming home...
Promise I'll be coming home to you...to you
(Sam) Hi I'm Sam!
(Kareem) Hi Sam, I'm Kareem! Wanna swim with me?
(Sam) That sounds awesome! Let's go!
(Kareem) Ok!
Today I found the ocean all these friends and all this fun
We swam on the waves and in the early morning sun
But in the night time it got cold, I got a little sad
No one there to hug or kiss me where are mom and dad?
Promise I'll be coming home...
Promise I'll be coming home to you...to you
So back upstream I'm swimming yes I told all my friends
I'm still meant for bigger things I'll wait till I'm full finned
Promise I'll be coming home...
Promise I'll be coming home to you...to you
Here I come I'm swimming got a smile cause I'm glad
I miss my stream, the baseball team, I miss mom and dad
I'm swimming up stream
Said by to Kareem
(Kareem) Bye!
He's a dolphin
