X-Ray Fish

(album: Best Of Alphabet Zoo - 1983)

Flim, Flam, there's a traffic jam
At the bottom of the deep blue sea
'Oh, what a mess,' said the X-ray Fish
'Oh what can the problem be, be, be, be
What can the problem be?'
'I was the first,' said a big fat fish
'And the others won't let me through
Now all of the others are stuck behind
Oh what are we going to do, do, do, do
What are we going to do?'

Flim, Flam, there's a traffic jam
At the bottom of the deep blue sea
Oswald's trying to sort it out
But he's making a mess you see, see, see
Making a mess you see
He's got so many legs and arms
They point all over the place
He knows he's making a terrible mess
You can tell by the look on his face, face, face, face
Tell by the look on his face

Flim, Flam there's a traffic jam
At the bottom of the deep blue sea
'I've got a plan,' said the X-ray Fish
'So come and listen to me, me, me, me
Come and listen to me

What we need are traffic lights
With colours that will show
When they're red you have to stop
And when they're green you go

Flim, Flam, there's a traffic jam
At the bottom of the deep blue sea
'The traffic lights are the X-ray fish
So everybody look at me, me, me, me
Everybody look at me'

So X-ray swam around the fish
With the red seaweed inside his tum
And the fish they all just waited their turn and they all agreed 'Well done
Done, done, done
All agreed well done

Flim, Flam, no traffic jam
And the fish were moving again
The X-ray Fish is only little
But he's got a very good brain, brain, brain
He's got a very good brain
