2.Take me where the fishes swim and shimmer in and out of vision
  Underneath the hanging willow tree
  Do you remember Charlie Boots?  He broke the rope
  Back on the slope we laughed so hard I thought I'd have to pee
  Going to the pretty place, going to the pretty place

3.Inst.

4.I know our pretty place has gone it's been so long
  And everything and everyone I know is moving on
  But though my eyes are growing dim still I can see the fishes swim
  And I can hear that never ending song
  I'm going to the pretty place, going to the pretty place

  In my mind it's shining bright
  I've had enough of all this stuff
  Now I'm going to the pretty place  
  In my mind I see the light
  I've never been so ready
  Now I'm going to the pretty place
