Look at this stuff

Isn’t it neat?

Wouldn’t you think my

collection’s complete?

Wouldn’t you think I’m the girl

The girl who has

everything?

Look at this trove

Treasures untold

How many wonders can

one cavern hold?

Looking around here you’d think

Sure, she’s got everything

I’ve got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty


I’ve got whozits and whatzits galore


You want thingamabobs?


I’ve got twenty!


But who cares?

No big deal


I want more

I wanna be where the people are


I wanna see,

wanna see ’em dancin’


Walking around on those,

what do you call ’em?


Oh, feet

Flippin’ your fins,

you don’t get too far


Legs are required for

jumpin’, dancin’


Strollin’ along down the,

what’s that word again?


Street

Up where they walk,

up where they run


Up where they stay all day in the sun


Wanderin’ free,

wish I could be


Part of that world

What would I give

if I could live

out of these waters?


What would I pay

to spend a day warm on the sand?


Bet’cha on land

they understand


Bet they don’t

reprimand their daughters


Bright young women,

sick of swimmin’


Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know


Ask ’em my questions and

get some answers


What’s a fire and

why does it,

what’s the word?


Burn?

When’s it my turn?


Wouldn’t I love,

love to explore that shore up

above?


Out of the sea


Wish I could be


Part of that world
