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 Et le chacalot a dit: Je voudrais être un yéti Pour voler dans la nuit Et m'envoler loin d'ici Je veux être un monstre marin Pour pouvoir sauter 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 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 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 So dry and lonely That the creatures all Appreciate the effort
