Dolphins ©

If dolphins are so clever they disguise it oh so well
They've never actually told us yet, well not that I can tell
If dolphins are so clever, well I wish they’d simply say
But it seems they can’t be bothered they would rather simply play

Fine by me you silly fish: oh I’m sorry, you’re a mammal
I’d rate you on the clever scale somewhere around about a camel
I've seen you do your tricks and things which are really entertaining
But I'll bet that stupid camel could, with the same amount of training

You’re a performer and an actor, you pretend to mimic sense
You’re no better than a seal, my friend, seeking fish as recompense
You'll do anything we ask of you, there’s no trick you won’t perform
But it’s really fish you’re after, sorry, please forgive my scorn

So you’re not so very clever, there’s no astounding bit of proof
There’s nothing of your psyche that I consider so aloof
So swim along and play your games, just keep on earning fish
Don’t pretend, to me at least, you’re as bright as some would wish
