SONG LYRICS

Song 1
My gills are really cool, and people love my smiling face.
They help me breathe in water, as I move from place to place.

Song 2
Sour and spicy, cold and sweet.
So many things to try, so many things to eat.

Song 3
I am a walking fish.
Axolotl is my name.
I swim or walk on land!
Would you like to play a game?

Song 4
I love food and I am hungry.
I am ready for a snack.
Blah!
What is that you fed me?
You better take it back!

Song 5
Sleeping, playing, hiding, I come out at night.
My home is in the rocks, hiding from the light.

Song 6
I love all the colours in my yummy food.
Red strawberries, yellow lemons.
Pink ice cream is tasty too.
