"Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" is the main theme and credits theme to the Studio Ghibli animated film, Ponyo. The English-language version is sung by Frankie Jonas and Noah Cyrus, the respective voice actors of Sosuke and Ponyo in the English dub.

Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, fishy in the sea
Tiny little fishy, who could you really be?
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, magic sets you free
Oh, she's a little girl with a round tummy
Tip, tippy toe, jump, jump, and hop
Now that I've got my legs, I cannot stop
Pat, paddy pat, waving hello
Come and hold hands with me, dancing we go
My feet are skipping, my heart, too
Happy happy are we all!
Maybe I might love you, maybe I might love you
So hold on tight and hold me close, you're my hero
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, fishy in the sea
Tiny little fishy, who could you really be?
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, magic sets you free
Oh, pretty little girl will you swim back to me?
Yum, yummy yum, I smell a treat
Let's fill our tummies now, good things to eat
Peek, peek-a-boo, that's what we'll do
"I see my favorite boy, he sees me too!"
My cheeks are rosy from smiling
Laughing laughing are we all
Maybe I might love you, maybe I might love you
So hold on tight and hold me close, you're my hero
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, fishy in the sea
Tiny little fishy, who could you really be?
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, magic sets you free
Oh, she's a little girl with a round tummy
Ponyo... Ponyo... Ponyo... Ponyo...
1... 2... 1, 2, 3, 4!
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, tiny little fish
She's a little fish from the deep blue sea
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, she's a little girl
She's a little girl with a round tummy
Uh huh, favorite little fishy, Sing along let's go!
Sing "P-O-N-Y-O"
You can clap your hands, clap your fins
Everybody, this is where the magic happens!
And when I'm skipping with her, my heart does a dance
Munch and munch, kiss and hug! Munch and munch, kiss and hug!
Oh, he is my favorite little boy...
Rosy, rosy, red, red!
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, tiny little fish
She's a little fish from the deep blue sea
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, she's a little girl
She's a little girl with a round tummy
Ponyo... Ponyo... Ponyo... Ponyo...
1... 2... 1, 2, 3, 4!
I love you bunches and bunches, I give you lots of X and O's
Feel it in your fingers all the way down to your toes
Everybody - one, two, three - Come along and dance with me
One, two, three, make a wish - Sing along with your favorite fish!
And when I'm skipping with her, my heart does a dance
Munch and munch, kiss and hug! Munch and munch, kiss and hug!
Oh, he is my favorite little boy...
Rosy, rosy, red, red!
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, tiny little fish
She's a little fish from the deep blue sea
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, she's a little girl
She's a little girl with a round tummy
Ponyo... Ponyo... Ponyo... Ponyo...
And when I'm skipping with her, my heart does a dance
Munch and munch, kiss and hug! Munch and munch, kiss and hug!
Oh, he is my favorite little boy...
Rosy, rosy, red, red!
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, tiny little fish
She's a little fish from the deep blue sea
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, she's a little girl
She's a little girl with a round tummy!
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, tiny little fish
Came to the house on the cliff by the sea
Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, she's a little girl
She's a happy girl with a round tummy
She's a little girl with a round tummy
