[Intro]
B C#m C#7 B7
[Verse 1]
E B7
Oh once there was a cuttlefish who didn't know how to swim
E
And all the other cuttlefish would laugh and point at him
A
And though it hurt his feelings, he never once complained
B
He just sat there underneath the water waitin' for a train
[Chorus]
E
See him waitin' for a train
A
Waitin' for a train
B7 E
Sittin' on a seashell in his little hat and cane
A
With his umberella opened up to keep off the rain
B
There sat the cuttle fish, waitin' for a train
[Verse 2]
E B7
His father said: "He could swim, if he would only try"
E
His mother said: "He can't swim, the water gets in his eyes"
A
His grandpa said: "He's got to swim, it goes against the grain!
B
To see a fish, sitting like this, waitin' for a train"
E B7
His teacher said: "He's been trained to swim, but he don't give a hoot"
E
His sister said: "He's ashamed to swim, he's got no swimmin' suit"
A
His brother said: "Who cares if he swims, it's giving me a pain!
B
To see a fish, sitting like this, waitin' for a train"
[Chorus]
E
He keeps waitin' for a train
A
Waitin' for a train
B7 E
Sittin' on his seashell in his little hat and cane
A
With his umberella opened up to keep off the rain
B
There sits the cuttle fish, waitin' for a train
[Verse 3]
E B7
His friends all said: "Come on and swim, come on and swim with us
E
It isn't right for a fish to ride a plane or a train or a bus
A
Why must you be so different? It's driving us insane!
B
To see a fish, sitting like this, waitin' for a train
E B7
Then up spoke the kingfish, said "Man you must be dumb
E
You're waitin' around for somethin' that ain't never gonna come
A
You must believe in fairy tales, or else you've lost your brain!
B
You're a muddled fish, a befuddled fish, for waitin' for a train
[Bridge] (single strums)
E B7
Then all of a sudden, all the fishes down below
(B7) E
They heard an engine chuggin', and they heard a whistle blow
(E) A
And they heard a voice yell "All aboard!" and a cowbell clang and
B
The're goes the cuttlefish, wavin' from the train
[Chorus]
E
See him wavin' from the train
A
Wavin' from the train
B7 E
See him sittin' on the smokestack with his little hat and cane
A
See his umbrella opened up to keep of the raaaaaain, oh
B
There goes the cuttefish, wavin' from the train
