The Invisible Trout
For Vincent & Leif
A special request from Vincent, who said:
I was just lunching with the lads when my son Leif stopped and looked behind him. “What is it?” I asked. “I heard a little crunchy sound like a crckrckrckr”, he told me.
“Hm.. I wonder what it is …”, I… wondered. “Maybe it’s an invisible trout” he suggested. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Lyrics
The invisible trout
The invisible trout
You better watch out
But you can’t watch out
Cos nobody can see
The invisible trout
I smell something fishy round here
But it doesn’t appear that any fish are that near
I can hear a trout sound
But I can’t see nowt
Cos nobody can see
The invisible trout
Some time ago I tried to make a wish
For an invisible friend and a fresh fish dish
I didn’t get both
I was just one wish
So to my surprise I ended up with
The invisible trout
The invisible trout
You better watch out
But you can’t watch out
Cos nobody can see
The invisible trout
Nobody can see but it’s sitting right here
Perched next to my chin, fin tickling my ear
Listen you can hear the slick smacks of its lips
And hope you don’t think I stink like fish
Cos it’s not me! It’s the invisible trout!
And the wet patch is cos it keeps flapping about!
I made a bad wish, and I wish it would end
Cos I’m stuck with a fish as my invisible friend
It’s the invisible trout
The invisible trout
You better watch out
But you can’t watch out
Cos nobody can see
The invisible trout
