The flower said, "I wish I was a tree," 
                                D 
The tree said, "I wish I could be 
A different kind of tree,

The cat wished that it was a bee, 
G 
The turtle wished that it could fly 
C 
Really high into the sky, 
D 
Over rooftops and then dive 
G 
Deep into the sea. 
G 
And in the sea there is a fish, 
C 
A fish that has a secret wish, 
D 
A wish to be a big cactus 
         G 
With a pink flower on it.

And the flower 
              C 
Would be its offering 
      D          G 
Of love to the desert. 
And the desert, 
            C 
So dry and lonely, 
          D 
That the creatures all 
               G 
Appreciate the effort.

Et le chacalot a dit: 
C 
"Je voudrais être un yéti 
D 
Pour voler dans la nuit 
G 
Et m'envoler loin d'ici" 
G 
Mais le yéti a dit: 
C 
"Je veux être un monstre marin 
D 
Pour pouvoir sauter dans la mer 
G 
De tous les requins" 
G 
And the rattlesnake said, 
                  C 
"I wish I had hands so 
                       D 
I could hug you like a man." 
And then the cactus said, 
G 
"Don't you understand, 
My skin is covered with sharp spikes 
         C 
That'll stab you like a thousand knives. 
D 
A hug would be nice, 
           G 
But hug my flower with your eyes."
