Once I caught a fish alive
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Then I let it go again
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so!
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right

Explanations

A fish should be IT, not HE, but in children's stories animals are often treated as "people" (especially if they can speak) so they use HE/SHE. Anyway, this song is usually sang with IT, not HE, but on this video they say IT.
