[English]

Maybe he's right

Maybe there is something the matter with me

I just, I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things

Could be bad

Look at this stuff

Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the girl

The girl who has everything?

Look at this trove

Treasures untold

How many wonders can one cavern hold?

Looking around here you'd think

Sure, she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty

I've got whozits and whatzits galore

You want thingamabobs? I got 20

But who cares?

No big deal

I want more

I wanna be where the people are

I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'

Walking around on those, what do you call 'em?

Oh, feet

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far

Legs are required for jumping, dancing

Strolling along down a, what's that word again?

Street

Up where they walk, up where they run

Up where they stay all day in the sun

Wanderin' free, wish I could be

Part of that world

What would I give if I could live out of these waters?

What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?

Betcha on land, they understand

Bet they don't reprimand their daughters

Bright young women, sick of swimmin'

Ready to stand

I'm ready to know what the people know

Ask 'em my questions and get some answers

What's a fire and why does it, what's the word?

Burn?

When's it my turn?

Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?

Out of the sea

Wish I could be

Part of that world

Key Grammar Structures

• Maybe there is something the matter with me

  ➔ Existential "there is/are"

  ➔ Uses "there is" to indicate the existence of something. In this case, it suggests the possibility of a problem.

• Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

  ➔ Conditional question with "wouldn't"

  ➔ Expresses a hypothetical situation and expectation. "Wouldn't" is a contraction of "would not" and is used to express surprise or seek agreement.

• Looking around here you'd think, Sure, she's got everything

  ➔ Conditional clause with reduced "if" (implied)

  ➔ "Looking around here, *if* you were to look around here, you'd think...". The "if" clause is omitted, making it more concise and conversational. "You'd" is the contracted form of "you would."

• I wanna be where the people are

  ➔ Informal contraction "wanna" (want to) and relative clause with "where"

  ➔ "Wanna" is a colloquial contraction of "want to". "Where the people are" is a relative clause defining the place she wants to be.

• Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far

  ➔ Gerund phrase functioning as an adverbial modifier, zero conditional (implied "if")

  ➔ "Flippin' your fins" describes the *way* someone moves. The sentence implies: *If* you are only flipping your fins, you don't get too far.

• What would I give if I could live out of these waters?

  ➔ Second conditional sentence

  ➔ The second conditional uses "would" in the main clause and the past simple in the "if" clause. It expresses a hypothetical situation that is unlikely or impossible in the present.

• Betcha on land, they understand

  ➔ Informal contraction "Betcha" (I bet you) and simple present tense for generalization

  ➔ "Betcha" is an informal contraction of "I bet you". The simple present tense ("understand") expresses a general belief or truth about people on land.

• What's a fire and why does it, what's the word? Burn?

  ➔ Interrogative sentences and ellipsis

  ➔ Uses the interrogative "What's" to ask for a definition. The ellipsis represents a pause or search for the right word before stating "burn".
