Vampire

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 desert's

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 m'en aller loin d'ici

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 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
