Song Lyrics
As I was snorkeling down in the cayes
I came upon 2 manatees
I looked at them and they looked right at me
As they chewed on their dinner of hydrilla weeds
One came over and said to me
I�ll tell you what life is like under the sea
My name is Hugh and I�ll show to you
Just what manatees do
Chorus:� Hugh the manatee
Swimming around from caye to caye
Oh how I wish that I could be
Like Hugh the manatee
Hugh the manatee
Swimming around the
Oh how I wish that I could be
Like Hugh the manatee
Hugh said I like to come here and feed
Among the hyacinths and the seaweed
Rooting around in the seagrass beds
I like salt water I also like fresh
I don�t mind it cool but warm is the best
When I get tired I take a deep breath
And go down on the bottom to rest
Chorus:� Hugh the manatee
Swimming around from caye to caye
Oh how I wish that I could be
Like Hugh the manatee
Hugh the manatee
Swimming around the
Oh how I wish that I could be
Like Hugh the manatee
Instrumental Interlude
Repeat Chorus:� Hugh the manatee
Swimming around from caye to caye
Oh how I wish that I could be
Like Hugh the manatee
Hugh the manatee
Swimming around the
Oh how I wish that I could be
Like Hugh the manatee
It isn�t as easy as you might think
�Cause me and my kind
We are almost extinct
A lot of the places we lived are now gone
Making it harder to carry on
Just look at these scars on my back they were made
By somebody�s powerboat propeller blade
With boats and pollution and trash in my way
It�s harder to live everyday
New Chorus:� Hugh the manatee
It shouldn�t be so hard to be
He�s part of you and he�s part of me
We�re all humanity
Hugh the manatee
It shouldn�t be so hard to be
He�s part of you and he�s part of me
We�re all humanity
