Tinned fish is having a moment— Hey there!
Dancing on the shelf in a bright tin display.
Little silver fishies packed up so neat,
Now they're tapping out a reggae island beat.
Tinned fish is having a moment— Oh yeah!
Rocking with the tide, where good vibes flow.
Ting-a-ling, hear how the steel drums ring;
Oh my! How those little fishes love to sing?
Sardines smiling all set to dance in parades,
Mackerel mellow in their cool blue shades.
Green-sea tuna winking with a salty grin,
"Come on everybody, let the groove begin!"
Tinned fish is having a moment— Hey there!
Open a tin can and brighten your day.
Let them rock and roll, let them jive and sway,
There's no better way, to brighten every bay.
Tin Man strolled along yellow brick road,
Looking for a heart to lighten his load.
"No heart?" they cried. "Well, that won't do!"
"Tin fish have hearts! - We've got one for you!"
Crackers are waiting for a salty friend,
Lemon is laughing in an olive oil's blend
Pepper keeps dancing, parsley keeps time,
So every little nibble becomes a rhyme.
Tinned fish is having a moment— It's true!
Ting-a-ling those steel pans play for you.
Hear the cha-chas chatter, and bongos play
Every little tin can brightens your day.
Tinned fish is having its time— So sing!
Tin cans go "ting", while the steel pans ring.
From sea to shelf, from shelf to me,
One little tin, can set good times free!
Tinned fish is having its moment—
It's for You! It's For me!
Just set them little canned fishes - Free!
Set them tin can fishes - Free!
