So Long & Thanks For All The Fish

Version originale (2:26)

So long and thanks for all the fish,
So sad that it should come to this.
We tried to warn you all but, oh dear,
You may not share our intellect,
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that grow around you.

So long, so long and thanks for all the fish.

Your world’s about to be destroyed,
There’s no point getting all annoyed,
Lie back and let the planet dissolve around you. Lie back and let the planet dissolve around you.
Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet,
Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women.

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long,
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long,
So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish. So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish.

“If I had just one last wish
I would like a tasty fish.”
“If we could just change one thing
We would all have lungs to sing.”

“Come one and all, “Come one and all,
Man and mammal, Man and mammal,
Side by side Side by side
In life’s great gene pool.” In life’s great gene pool.”

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long,
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long,
So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish. So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish.
