And as Timmy tried to give Betsy the slip I scooted on past with a flip of my hip I said, “Sorry mates,” and I swallowed that thing I just didn’t know that it came with a string. The next thing I know I’m up in the air Shouting, “How can this be.  It just isn’t fair.” Both Betsy and Timmy then witness me cuss And I hear them say, “Wow, glad it’s not us.” Chorus Then all of a sudden I’m caught in a net By a 3 year old boy who thinks I’m his pet His mom snips the string as the boy holds me tight You better believe I was shaking with fright On the shore there it was, that bright shiny pale The boy dunked me in and I started to flail This startled the boy and he pulled back his hand Knocking that bright shiny pail in the sand Out came the water and then of course me One moment I’m caught and the next I am free What did I do?  Well you make no mistake I wasted no time getting back to the lake Like a torpedo I swam all the way here You can swim very fast when you’re trembling in fear. So family and friends here’s the lesson to learn Never eat silver things or you may not return. Chorus
	One That Got Away    by Tim Seston Oh the little fish , go splish, splash, splish As they hear the story unfold A warning with this water myth Helps the little fishies grow old. Sal swam near the surface of Tuckerman Lake Her fins flipped so fast they created a wake She darted beneath the old wooden dock To her home in the crevice of Signature Rock Though now she was safe, she was scared half to death It took her some time to catch hold of her breath Then she sighed with relief and retold the whole tale Of how she’d escaped from the bright shiny pail. Chorus Yesterday morning while swimming about With Betsy the Bass and Timmy the Trout We saw something silver come down from above We crowded around it and started to shove “I saw it first,” little Timmy explained “Move out of my way,” then he loudly complained. “You poor silly trout,” came Betsy’s reply “If you can get by me then give it a try.”
