Three Little Fishes

DANCE

#1 Song in 1939

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
(Jeremiah 16:16 "But now I will send for many fishermen," 
declares the Lord," And they will catch them.)

Swam three little fishes and a mama fishy too

"Swim" said the mama fishy, "Swim if you can" 
And they swam and they swam all over the dam.

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

And they swam and they swam all over the dam.

"Stop" said the mama fishy, "or you will get 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 the sea.

(Ezekiel 47:9-11  "Fishermen will stand along the shore; from 
En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets, The 
fish will be many kinds---like the fish of the Great Sea.)

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

And they swam and they swam right out to the 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!

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

(Mark 1:15-17  As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon 
and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen)

Till all of a sudden they saw a shark!

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

And quick as they could, they turned on their tails

And back to the pool in the meadow they swam
And they swam and they swam back over the dam.

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!

And they swam and they swam back over the dam

So - WHAT is

The MORAL of the SONG ?

There are several possible answers

to that question....

1.

NEVER swim where you mommy tells you not to!

Mamma Knows Best !

2.

Just because you are a big fish in a little pond

doesn't mean you'll be a big fish in a big pond.

3.

If you're a little fish - don't swim with the big fish
unless you're smarter or faster than they are.

(Luke 5:1-3  He saw at the waters edge two boats, left there by the 
fishermen who were washing their nets)

My father always used to say

Little fish got to be BIG fish for a reason.....

They are smarter than the fishermen,

because they went to SCHOOLS !

Now this is a fish "with an attitude"
