Lyrics

Little goldfish, you know I loved you. I loved you and all your little goldfish friends too. But since you left me all alone, well I just sit in my living room and stare at an empty goldfish bowl. And I felt so sad and lonely, and I just wanna cry. But then I stop....I stop and I think to myself........Myself, I bet my goldfish is happy right now. I bet he's up in that great big goldfish bowl in the sky, looking down on me, smiling. Showing his great big goldfish teeth. Cause goldfish, you know where you are? I know where you are. You know where you are don't ya? You're in goldfish heaven.

(1st VERSE)
Goldfish heaven is where I belong.

Come my friends, It's the bomb.

We can swim around all day.

There's know work just fun and play.

(CHORUS)
Goldfish Heaven I love you.
Goldfish Heaven deep dark and blue.
Goldfish Heaven how my scales shine.
Goldfish Heaven your so fine.

(2nd VERSE)

You never have to mow the grass.

Just sit around and watch the bubbles pass.

No one ever grows too old.

All complections stay a beautiful gold.
