(Dolly Parton)

I feel so out of place here 
With this high society 
These high fallutin' people 
Don't know what to make of me 
I feel like a minnow in a sea of Moby Dicks 
A small fry in a big pan 
They're caviar -- I'm fish sticks 

Fish out of water 
I know I don't belong 
Fish out of water 
Everything I do is wrong 
My style of hair, the clothes I wear 
The way I speak, the things I eat 
The way I act, my lack of tact 
Nothin' seems to fit 
Fish out of water 
Flounderin' round 
Out of my element 

But I'm just as good as they are 
Why do I feel second rate 
It's like, "Sorry Charlie, 
We want only tuna with good taste" 
I guess you could say Wal-Mart 
Is quite a way from Gucci's 
I'm Timex, they're Rolex 
I'm Captain D's, they're sushi 

Fish out of water 
I've had it to the gills 
Fish out of water 
With these yuppie-guppie frills 
Yeah, I'm a square in a round hole 
A catfish in a goldfish bowl 
A little fish with lots of soul 
Out of my element 
Fish out of water 
Flounderin' round just for the Halibut 

Save me, save me 
S.O.S. somebody 
Save me, save me 
Somebody rescue me 

Fish out of water 
Somebody throw me in 
Fish out of water 
On a scale of one to ten 
I'm a two, perhaps a three 
Compared to the big fish in the sea 
I'm washed ashore so save me please 
I'm in an awful fix 
Fish out of water 
Rescue me 
And you better do it quick 
Fish out of water 
It's such a culture shock 
Fish out of water 
My stomach's tied in knots 
Fish out of water 
Fish out of water
