Out in the ocean in a nice polluted sea

Swam a school of fishes—as happy as can be.

We’re goin’ up the river, where we all began—

But wait a minutes, fisihes, they’ve got another plan!

Boop, boop, dittum, datum, wattum, choo, Boop, boop, dittum, datum, wattum, choo, Boop, boop, dittum, your luck is overdrawn, ‘Cause you’ll never make it up—the river to spawn.

What happened to the turbot, the herring and the cod Is happening to the salmon— DON’T BLAME IT ALL ON GOD!
The dams are killing salmon and they have got to go
Before the salmon are extinct and we are full of woe!
Boop, boop, dittum, datum, wattum, choo, Boop, boop, dittum, datum, wattum, choo, Boop, boop, dittum, We’ve got to save those fish!
Remove those damn dams before the salmon go squish!
