The Other Side - Tiny Tim

One nigh is brown

the other is brown

I am a fish

I swim around

You say I’m lost

I disagree

The map has changed

and with it, me

Gliding through the seaweed

what strange things I see below

Cars are waiting

windshields wiping

Nowhere left to go!

Oh…

The ice caps are melting

Oh, ho, ho ho

All the world is drowning

Ho, ho ho, ho ho

The ice caps are melting

the tide is rushing in

All the world is drowning

to wash away the sin

The seagull flies

in search of land

The children hide

beneath the sand

As golden toys

come floating down

I play the fish

I swim around

Gliding through the seaweed

what strange things I see below

Cars are waiting

windshields wiping

Nowhere left to go!

Oh…

The ice caps are melting

Oh, ho, ho ho

All the world is drowning

Ho, ho ho, ho ho

The ice caps are melting

the tide is rushing in

All the world is drowning

to wash away the sin

Now everybody sing!

I tell you, my dear friend…

Oh how wonderful it is!

Know that whoever you are

we can all be happy and singing!

No matter if you’re out there parked to that car along the highway

Or whether you’re at home, sitting by the radio

Or whether you’re having them good meals

Or whether you’re by the TV set

Let everyone sing about those melting ice caps

how they’re coming down into the sea

and let us all have a swimming time, as we sing;

The ice caps are melting

Oh, ho, ho ho

All the world is drowning

Ho, ho ho, ho ho

The ice caps are melting

the tide is rushing in

All the world is drowning

to wash away the sin
