It's early in the morning, way before dawn

I down a cup of coffee, put my lucky hat on

Get down to the water before all the crowds

Gonna have more fun than the law allows



With my hot rod, i go out to cruise

When i'm on the prowl, i never lose

I fire up my merc and put the throttle down

'cause i've got the fastest fishing boat in town

I open up my tackle box, it's so big!

Crank baits, sink baits, beer and jigs

Got my bobbers on, and my 10 pound test

Gonna catch me a lunker gonna be the best



(gonna go fishing) gonna have some fun

(gonna go fishing) 'cause it's number one

(gonna go fishing) gonna sit on my butt

(gonna catch a fish) and scrape out its guts

Ahhh, fishing!



I fish on the lake, by the sunken tree stump

Between the sewage output, and the chemical dump

Don't swim in the lake, says a sign on a tree

It's a good thing that fish can't read

I got my 10 dollar lure, the one that floats

And i make a big cast from my 20 grand boat

With my thousand dollar rod, or maybe it's more

Gonna catch me a fish that's 5 bucks at the store



(gonna go fishing) gonna have some fun

(gonna go fishing) 'cause it's number one

(gonna go fishing) gonna sit on my butt

(gonna catch a fish) and scrape out its guts

Ahhh, fishing!



I feel something tugging on the end of my line

(tug, tug, tug, tug, tug that line)

I'm gonna catch a fish, it's gonna be so fine

(fish, fish, fish, fish, fish so fine)

Oh it feels so good to touch fish slime

(slime, slime, slime, slime, fishy slime)

There's nothing else to do with my free time

(time, time, time, time, waste of time)

Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhhhhhh



Let's catch a fishfishfishfishfishfishfishfishfishfishfishfishfish
