Please help me get my fountain working again

My porch has a fountain in it!It looks a bit like this: Brian, that's a fountain where a trickle of water comes out of a lion's mouth into a little trough.It originally simply had a mains water feed that fed a spout in the lion's mouth, and a drain took the water away. Eventually, the water board cottoned on to the waste, and it was disconnected.I want to get it working again with a recirculating pump. I have drilled right through the wall where the lion's mouth is, and I can feed a flexible pipe through, and then back through the wall into the trough.So, I need a submersible pump plus a suitable pipe. That is hopefully where you ladies and gentlemen come in, please.The pump really only needs to produce a small amount of water - just a trickle. Any more, and it will splash all over the porch.What about the pipe? My thought was perhaps microbore copper pipe?I'll hide the pipework behind some shelving, but piping that can take a sharp bend would be best. And how do I make the connection between the pump and the pipe?

FWLIW you could restore the mains feed if the output fed say a loo cistern, preferably via a tank to convert a long trickle into a quick fill.
