Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I stumbled on a Marilyn McCoo
I didn't know what to do
So hot her chimney smoked
[Verse 2]
Forgot to open the flue
And smoke filled up the room
Man I really choked
[Chorus]
Ain't it funny how the only one I need in the world
Is a goldfish swimming in a bowl? (Oh Goldy)
It's kinda funny how the only one I need in the world
Is a goldfish swimming in a bowl
[Verse 3]
Thumbin' through the classifieds
Found a girl looking for a guy
So long as he's into furries
[Verse 4]
Now I'm putting on my fancy clothes
I combed my hair, even wearing a bowtie
The tail between my legs has got me worried
[Chorus]
Ain't it funny how the only one I need in the world
Is a goldfish swimming in a bowl? (Oh Goldy)
It's kinda funny how the only one I need in the world
Is a goldfish swimming in a bowl
[Bridge]
A lotta fish in the sea
But he's sticking with me
A lotta fish in the sea
But he's all that I need
[Bridge]
A lotta fish in the sea
But he's sticking with me
A lotta fish in the sea
But he's all that I need
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Send me off to paradise
Please forgive me all my vices
I've done my best, tried not to mess with this world
[Verse 6]
I think I'm gonna fly my friend
Start this life all over again
Even if I come back twice, it's nice
To imagine Goldy being mine
