Rocket Fish - Parody - for the Grand Haven Rocket Fish show, summer 2011
Song
2017

For a competition that I won. Here are the lyrics:

ROCKET FISH
She swam Lake Michigan last night
and washed up on the crystal sand
And she headed up the beach, down to the Grand.
And then the others followed suit
Spreading beauty and insight.
On such a lovely night. That's right.

And I think I'm gonna see a long long line
of fishies breeding in the summertime.
I'm not the minnow that I used to be, oh no no no.
I'm a Rocket Fish, lookin' pretty on the pier again.

Grand Haven is the place to feel good.
In fact, it's cool as hell
Great people, music, art, and food.
And all the artists help you understand
They spread their beauty on the streets.
A rocket fish, a rocket fish.

And I think I'm gonna see a long long line
of fishies breeding in the summertime.
I'm not the minnow that I used to be, oh no no no.
I'm a Rocket Fish, lookin' pretty on the pier again.

This is a parody of Elton John's Rocket Man and I did it all for fun, and not for monetary gain. If anyone gives me any money for it, I'll give it all to Elton. In fact, I will let Elton have this song.
