I'm not looking for a song in particular just doing some homework and want to incorporate a quote from a song about fish in it. :D It's computer design homework, and I think we are doing text to go with the quote. So, I'm just brainstorming.
Thanks for all your help everyone!

Fish Out Of Water
Song InformationBy: Dolly Parton
Original Appearance: Straight Talk
Compilations: None
Alternate Versions: None
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 *****
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

Louisiana Man (I've heard Bobbie Gentry's version)
Doug Kershaw
At birth, Mama ‘n’ Papa called the little boy Ned
Raised him on the banks of a river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
Was home for my Mama and my Papa and me
The clock strikes three, Papa jumps to his feet
Already Mama’s cookin’ Papa somethin’ to eat
At half past, Papa he’s a-ready to go
He jumps in his pireau headed down the bayou
He’s got fishin’ lines strung across the Louisiana River
He’s gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He’s setting traps in the swamps catchin’ everything he can
He’s gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man
Gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man
Muskrat hides hangin’ by the dozen
Even got a lady mink a muskrat’s cousin
Got ‘em out dryin’ in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow Papa’s gonna turn ‘em into mon’
They call Mama Rita and my Daddy Jack
Little baby brother on the floor that’s Mac
Red and Len are the family twins
Big brother Ed’s on the bayou fishin’
On the river floats Papa’s great big boat
That’s how my Papa goes into town
Takes every bit of a night and a day
To even reach the place where the people stay
I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around
That’s the day that Papa takes the furs to town
Papa promised me that I could go
He’d even let me see a cowboy show
I seen the cowboys ‘n’ injuns for the first time then
I said “Hey Papa, gotta go again!”
But Papa said “Son we got lives to run
We’ll come back again first there’s work to be done”
He’s got fishin’ lines strung across the Louisiana River
He’s gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He’s setting traps in the swamps catchin’ everything he can
He’s gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man
Gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man
