Tree Hugger

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
(pre chorus:)
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
(chorus:)
And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert
And the deserts
So dry and lonely
That the creatures all appreciate the effort
Et le cachalot a dit
Je voudrais être un yeti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et men aller loin dici
Mais le yeti a dit
Je voudrais être un monstre marin
Pour pouvoir rentrer dans la mer
De tous les requins.
Translation
(not sung):
(And the sperm whale said
I wish I was a yeti
So I could steal into the night
And get away from here
But the yeti said
I wish I was a sea monster
So I could go into the sea
With all the sharks.)
And the rattlesnake said
'I wish I had hands
So I could hug you like a man'
And then the cactus said
'But dont you understand?
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
Thatll stab you like a thousand knives
A hug would be nice
But hug my flower with your eyes'
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
