(Nick Kenny / Charles Kenny)

I'll tell you why I can't find you
|
Every time I go out to your place.....
|
|
You gone fishin' (Well how you know?)
|
Well there's a sign upon your door (Uh-huh)
|
Gone fishin' (I'm real gone man)
|
You ain't workin' anymore (Could be)
|
There's your hoe out in the sun
|
Where you left a row half done
|
You claim that hoein' ain't no fun (But I can prove it)
|
You ain't got no ambition
|
Gone fishin' by a shady-wady pool (Shangri-la, really la)
|
I'm wishin' I could be that kind of fool (Should I twist your arm?)
|
I'd say no more work for mine (Welcome to the club)
|
On my door I'd hang a sign
|
Gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'
|
|
I stopped by your place a time or two lately
|
And you aren't home either
|
|
Well, I'm a busy man, Louis
|
I got a lotta big deals cookin'
|
I was probably tied up at the studio
|
|
You weren't tied up, you dog
|
You was just plain old.....
|
|
Gone fishin' (Bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah)
|
There's a sign upon your door (Pops, don't blab it around, will you)
|
Gone fishin' (Keep it shady, I got me a big one staked out)
|
Oohhh, you ain't workin' anymore (I don't have to work, I got me a piece of Gary)
|
Cows need milkin' in the barn (I got the twins on that detail, they each take a side)
|
But you just don't give a darn (Give 'em four bits a cow and hand lotion)
|
You just never seem to learn (Man, you taught me)
|
You ain't got no ambition (You're convincin' me)
|
Gone fishin' (Bah-boo-dah-do-dah-do-dah-do)
|
Got your hound dog by your side (That's old Cindy-Lou goin' with me)
|
Gone fishin' (Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm)
|
Fleas are bitin' at his hide (Get away from me boy, you're botherin' me)
|
|
Folks won't find us now because
|
Mister Satch and Mister Cros
|
We gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'
|
Bah-boo-baby-bah-boo-bah-bay-mmm-boo-bay
|
Oh yeah!
