Oh I wish I were a spiky pufferfish
Oh I wish I were a spiky pufferfish
The chef would slather me with hoisin
And you wouldn’t know I’m poison
Oh I wish I were a spiky pufferfish.

#2
Oh I wish I were a little copperhead
Oh I wish I were a little copperhead
I’d go rattle rattle rattle
Just to warn you not to battle.
Oh I wish I were a little copperhead.

#3
Oh I wish I were a tiny little crab
Yes I wish I were a tiny little crab
I’d go pinch-y pinch-y pinch-y
up and down your every inch-y
Oh I wish I were a tiny little crab

#4
Oh, I wish I were a little furry moth,
Yes, I wish I were a little furry moth,
I’d go snacka-snacka-snacka,
On your favoritest alpaca,
Oh, I wish I were a little furry moth.

#5
Oh I wish I were a little guinea pig
Oh I wish I were a little guinea pig
I’d go wheeky wheeky wheeky
in my voice so high and squeaky
Oh I wish I were a little guinea pig

#6
Oh I wish I were a little water snake
Oh I wish I were a little water snake
I would lay beneath the water
then I’d nip you in your trotter
Oh I wish I were a little water snake!

#7
Oh I wish I were a little sledding dog
Yes I wish I were a little sledding dog
I’d go mushy mushy mushy
o’er the snowy trails I’d rushy
Oh I wish I were a little sledding dog

#8
Oh I wish I were a little bitty mouse,
Oh I wish I were a little bitty mouse,
I’d go scamper, scamper, scamper,
till you jumped upon your hamper,
Oh I wish I were a little bitty mouse

#9
Oh I wish I were a little Bactrian,
Yes, I wish I were a little Bactrian,
You’d go bumpy, bumpy, bumpy
On my little camel humpy,
Oh I wish I were a little Bactrian!

#10
Oh I wish I were a star up in the sky
Yes I wish I were a star up in the sky
I would sparkle and I’d glow
on the earth so far below
Yes I wish I were a star up in the sky

#11
Oh I wish I were a little platypus
Yes I wish I were a little platypus
I’d go nuzzle nuzzle nuzzle,
and zoologists would puzzle
Oh I wish I were a little platypus

Wow they are all great. #1 and #10 get my vote. #1 cause it made me laugh and #10 because I will probably use it in real life at work with preschoolers…

Also, what is the tune for this song? (It’s got to be better than the annoying version I’ve cooked up in my head.)
