According to Wiki, it came out in 1943,,,about 12 yrs before I was born...

Hey, howzabout this one?

Lyrics of Glenn Miller - Three Little Fishes :


"Down in the meadow where there lived a bitty poo

Swam three little fishes and a mama fishie, too

"Swim!" said the mama fishie, "Swim if you can!"

And they swam, and they swam all over the dam...



"Stop!" said the mama fishie "or you will be lost "

But the three little fishes didn t wanna be bossed

The three little fishes went off on a spree

And they swam, and they swam right out to sea...



"Whee!", yelled the little fishes, "Here s a lot of fun,

We ll swim in the sea till the day is done!"

They swam and they swam and it was a lark

Till all of a sudden they saw a shark...



"Help!" cried the little fishes, "Gee, look at the whales!"

Quick as they could they turned on their tails

Back to the pool in the meadow they swam

And they swam and they swam back over the dam!"

Yup. I was born before little Mairzy doats was written. And yes. I also remember the little fishes.

Man my first amp was an old WEBCOR tape recorder. I grew up listening to old recordings of Bach and Mozart.

Good translation, Mattki. The title of the song IS "Mairzy Doats," though.

I think it's very clever!
