Once upon a time in Alongalongalo

I was taught to tickle fish by an old Eskimo

I will tell the trick to you, if you howl “Bomballoo!”

all the way to Timbuktu, in reverse

 

To tickle Koi one must learn to speak in Mayonnaise

Goldfish should be chundered to in Carrotalian

Skate enjoy a skithering along their spineytines

Whereas Tuna like their tozies chuckatetting

 

Carp and Cat and Octupi begin to mimic Parrotpies

and whistle while you’re tickling their chods

Herring begin smelling if they don’t get tickled twice

and they start to whiff a bit of sminky floo

 

Pike prefer a pokeyprod upon their tingletans

but Mackerel are happy to be mizzled

Clownfish, however, are a rude and noppy type

and should only get a tickle in the chopples

 

Now I’ve given you the basics of how to tickle fish

you must keep this information up your nose

Never howl “Bombaloo!” from this day on or else

you may find that fishies come in sneezes unexpectedly

and they’re VERY hard to wipe along your sleeveses
