人们说老鹰是一种鸟儿，当他飞上天空时，他能看到一些壮丽的景色。他能看到我们家周围几英里的地面，还有比利·约翰逊家;但我们不能成为老鹰，因为那当然是无稽之谈。但你和我，在某个夏日，如果我们被允许，将乘飞机飞上天空，穿过云层。但是，如果他们说我们不能去，我们就留在地上，和其他没有翅膀的东西在一起，看着他们走来走去。人们说海底景色美丽;他们说，只要鱼愿意，它们也可以航行，看到它。闪亮的珍珠，卷曲的珊瑚，鲨鱼，鱿鱼，鲷鱼，有鳍的鱼(虽然不是在罐头里)和有滑稽鳍的鱼。但是你和我，在某个晴朗的日子，天气好的时候，我们将乘潜艇去那里，只要我们得到许可。但是，如果他们说我们不能去，我们必须尊重他们的意愿;你和我要保持干燥因为我们不是鱼。 They say to fly so very high Is not exactly pleasant. They say to go deep down below Is not quite safe at present. But you and I don't care for that, And, if there's time for spending, When work is done, we'll have our fun By simply just pretending. The earth is quite a jolly place, And we don't care for flying; And things that creep down in the deep Are sometimes rather trying. So, if they'll grant a holiday Or even only half, We'll lie upon some grassy place, And think of things, and laugh.
