The Fish Ladder Song
(Song by: Sheldon Rosevear – Performance Notes below)
Sheldon Rosevear
LYRICS
Let’s take a trip to the Ballard Locks
Let’s take a walk across the top
To the viewing room on the southern side
And watch all the fish swim by
CHORUS
The fish swim the ladder up into the lake
The fish swim the ladder on their way to make
The next generation of fish to take
Their turn on the ladder some day
At the Ballard Locks there’s a lot to see
The arboretum is full of trees
Boats come and go of every size
By the fish ladder on the south side
CHORUS
Look through the window and see the fish
Coming back home from sea
Look through the window and wonder if
Are the fish looking at me?! (what do you think?)
CHORUS
(Repeat 1st verse)
