Story Behind The Song

There are many wonderous and strange looking creatures in the ocean. Some are beautiful, but dangerous. One cannot take everything one sees at face value - what you see is not always what you get (so to speak).

Song Description

Creature friendly, educational and environmentally-conscious children's song about a Catfish and other fish in the ocean whose names are those of animals and birds. From the album "Sealife Songs" by Sandi & Stevie.

Lyrics

Cat Fish:
I?m a pretty kitty catfish
I don?t have paws to go pit-a-pat
I have whiskers on my face
And I look like a kitty cat
[He looks like a kitty cat]

Parrot Fish:
I?m a parrot fish and I live in the coral reef
I?m known ?round here as ?cattle of the sea?
There?s something I have that?s quite unique
My front teeth are shaped like a beak

Cat Fish:
I?m a witty kitty catfish
I don?t drink milk and I don?t eat fish
I have a tail that?s not too fat
And I swim like a kitty cat
[He swims like a kitty cat]

Cow Fish:
I?m a cow fish and I have four long horns
I?m the funniest looking fish around
If you try to catch me with your hands
I?ll make a grunting sound

Cat Fish:
I?m a snitty kitty catfish
I don?t meow, I don?t purr
And I don?t believe in chasing mice
?Cause I don?t think it?s very nice
[We don?t think it?s very nice]

Zebra Fish:
I?m a zebra fish, I have poisonous spines
I spread them out in the shape of a fan
I?m beautiful with my pretty stripes
Hey, you?d better keep away, don?t touch me, man!

I?m a cat fish, I am a parrot fish
I?m a cow fish, I am a zebra fish
Don?t be naïve, you must believe
Appearances can deceive
Don?t believe everything you see
