| There’s your hoe out in the sun
|
| Where you left a row half done
|
| You claim that hoein' ain’t no fun
|
| (well 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'
|
| Papa Bing (yeah Louis)
|
| 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 deals cookin'
|
| I was probably tied up at the
|
| studio
|
| You weren’t tied up you
|
| dog
|
| You was just plain old…
|
| Gone fishin'
|
| 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)
|
| Mmm, 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 have
|
| 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'
|
| Got your hound dog by your side (that's
|
| old Cindy-Lou goin' with me)
|
| Gone fishin'
|
| Fleas are bitin' at his hide (get away
|
| from me boy, you bother me)
|
| Mmm, folks won’t find us now because
|
| Mister Satch and Mister Cros
|
| We gone fishin' instead of just
|
| a-wishin' |
