Oh For The Life Of A Sardine — текст песни (Chaplin Charlie)

When I was three my nurse told me
About reincarnation
And ever since I`ve been convinced,
Thrilled with anticipation
That when I leave this earth
It makes my heart feel warm
To know that I`ll return
In some other form.
But I don`t want to be a tree
Sticking in the ground -- I`d sooner be a flea.
I don`t want to be a flower
Waiting by the hour
Hoping for pollens to alight on me.
So when I cease to be
I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to go back to the sea!
Oh for the life of a sardine!
That is the life for me!
Cavorting and spawning every morning
Under the deep blue sea.
To have no fear for storm nor gale.
Oh to chase the tail of a whale!
Oh for the life of a sardine!
That is the life for me!
