Little Fish In A Big Pond 1945 Berlin

A little fish in a big pond
has plenty of room to swim.
But swimming around are big fish
all ready to pounce on him.
Back to his little pond
he starts to roam
the little fish spreads his fins
and begins to swim back home.
That's me, a little fish in a big pond,
all wrong, that's me,
a little fish where
a little fish don't belong.
A little man in a big town
gets butterflies in his dome.
I'm ready to spread my fins
and begin to swim back home
to the little pond,
where a little fish
and a little man belong.

A little fish in a big pond
has gotta have lots of heart.
For swimming around are big fish
but if he's the least bit smart.
Back to his little pond
he doesn't go
the little fish spreads his fins
and begins to grow, grow, grow,
That's you, a little fish
in a big pond,
all right, me too,
A little fish,
but we gotta stand up and fight.
A little man in a big town
don't have to get out and roam.
Stop taking it on the chin
and begin to feel at home
in the bigger pond,
where the bigger fish
and the bigger man belong.
