Check out this one stanza: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!
Eight rhymes -- eight really good rhymes -- within four lines, all while advancing the main character. Pretty impressive.
And here's the recent Broadway version of the Oscar-winning "Under the Sea." Without the colorful animation, the words stand out even more. How many fish puns can one song contain?
