🎵 The Fisherman and the Magic Fish – Song Lyrics 🎵
(85–90 BPM, gentle and reflective with waves in the background)

Verse 1
By the sea, where waves go swish,
Lived a man who made a wish.
In a tiny hut so small,
He had no riches, none at all.

🎣 “Each day I fish to find our meal,
With little more than rod and reel.”

Verse 2
One bright day, he cast his line,
And caught a fish with golden shine.

🐟 “Let me go,” the fish did say,
“I grant three wishes—just this way!”

Verse 3
The fisherman, so kind and good,
Released the fish back where it stood.

🎣 “Go swim free, no wish for me.”
He smiled and watched it gleefully.

Verse 4
But when he told his wife that night,
She shouted loud and full of spite.

👩‍🦱 “No wish at all? You silly man!
Go back and ask—yes, that’s the plan!”

Verse 5
He walked back down, the sea turned gray.
The waves were louder than that day.

🎣 “Dear fish in the sea, my wife has a wish for me…”

🐟 “Go home now, you’ll see—it’s true.
A lovely cottage waits for you.”

Verse 6
But soon the wife began to shout:
👩‍🦱 “A cottage? No! I want more clout!”

🎣 “A castle, please!” the fisherman cried,
As darker waves came rolling wide.

🐟 “Go home,” the fish said with a blink,
“You live in a castle, painted pink.”

Verse 7
But still the wife was not content.
👩‍🦱 “A queen! An empress! Heaven-sent!
Go back again and tell that fish—
I want to rule the sun with this wish!”

Verse 8
The fisherman, with heavy heart,
Returned once more to where he’d start.

🎣 “Dear fish in the sea, my wife has a wish for me…”

🐟 (softly): “Go home.”

Final Verse (Ending)
He walked the shore in wind and rain,
And found his home the same again.
No castle, crown, or golden dish—
Just the hut, without a wish.

The wife sat down with empty hands,
And learned what greedy heart demands.

🌊 “For when you want the world too fast—
You may just lose it all at last.”
