(Murray on lead)

In Haliburton near the Lake of Bays

lives a fish from a faraways

He hates the weather but still he stays

He hates the work but he says it pays



He robs the people as they swim and wade

His little piece of the tourist trade

This little fella's really got it made



(All)

From May to mid-July



(All)

He's Pisco Bandito the bandit fish

If he wants your money, he gets his wish

then he swims away with a mighty swish

Pisco the bandit fish



(Mike)

rrrrrrrow!



(rest)

ba ba da dop



(Murray) (rest)

He left his family down in Mexico (ba ba da dop)

to fly (ply?) the waters of Ontario (ba ba da dop)

He didn't want to but he had to go (ba ba da dop)

He sends them money every month or so (ba ba da dop)



Swimming beneath the summer sun (ba ba da dop)

or renting videos of Midnight Run (ba ba da dop)

A bandit's life is lots of fun



(All)

It's lots and lots of fun



(All)

He's Pisco Bandito the bandit fish

If he wants your money, he gets his wish

then he swims away with a mighty swish

Pisco the bandit fish

the following bridge (up to the acoustic

What is Pisco's favourite thing to rob?



(Murray)

They say he likes apple strudel



(All)

What does he do when not on the job?



(Murray)

on the guitar noodle
