There's a hole in the bottom of the sea

There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea
There's a hole, there's a hole, there's a hole in the bottom of the sea...




There's a log in a hole in the bottom of the sea...
There's a bump on a log in a hole in the bottom of the sea...
There's a frog on a bump on a log in a hole in the bottom of the sea...


John illustrated it, and took it farther than I've ever seen it taken.

Frankly, I'm lost after frog, but I pick it up again after "man"

there's a fly on a man...
there's a can on a fly on a man...
there's a snake on a can on a fly on a man...

Then what is that ...
there's an apple on a snake?

Could it be some biblical garden-of-eden reference?

There's a car on an apple?

I don't get it.

There's a Tree on a car?

Now I really am lost.

I lose it again after tree.

I do recognize window

There's a spider on a window...
There's a House on a spider on a window...
There's a Satellite dish on a house on a spider on a window...
There's a Bicycle on a satellite dish on a house on a spider on a window...

I need to track him down, sit him down, and make him explain to me what the details are that I'm sure I missed.

  1. According to John, the full text of the song, as he illustrated it, is:

    There's a motorcycle on a satellite dish on a house on a spider on a window on a trash can on a solar panel on a tree on a car on an apple on a snake on a pop can on a fly on a person on a paper airplane on a rhinocerus on a cup on a frog on a lump on a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea.
