Bobbing for a Living   Answer/Photo -->

Oh, I'm bobbing
Bobbing for a living
Just bobbing
Bobbing for a living
Just a-bobbing
Bobbing for a living in the sea
One - two - three
In the sea
One - two - three
In the oh - say - ah - no
The wide, wide, big old sea.

Three thousand of me
Bobbing in the sea
Bouncing in the blue
Happy and free
Twenty-two, twenty-three
Twenty-four degrees
Uh-oh, too hot for me!
Two thousand of me
Bobbing in the sea.

Oh, I'm bobbing
Bobbing for a living
Just bobbing
Bobbing for a living
Just a-bobbing
Bobbing for a living in the sea
One - two - three
In the sea
One - two - three
In the oh - say - ah - no
The wide, wide, big old sea.

Two thousand of me
Bobbing in the sea
Bouncing in the blue
Happy and free
Twenty-two, twenty-three
Twenty-four degrees
Oh-oh, too hot for me!
One thousand of me
Bobbing in the sea.

Oh, I'm bobbing
Bobbing for a living
Just bobbing
Bobbing for a living
Just a-bobbing
Bobbing for a living in the sea
One - two - three
In the sea
One - two - three
In the oh - say - ah - no
 The wide, wide, big old sea.

One thousand of me
Bobbing in the sea
Bouncing in the blue
Happy and free
Twenty-two, twenty-three
Twenty-four degrees
Oh-oh, too hot for me!
That's the end, you see
What a tragedy
I'm just a memory
And there will never be
More bobbing in the sea for me.

So please, please
Think about me
When you go to litter
When you buy gasoline
When you burn up things unnecessarily
 We've got to find a way to keep ocean cool
So I can keep bobbing in the sea
In the sea
In the oceano
The wide, wide, big old sea.
(Thank you, kindly!)
