Fishin’ words and music by Lenny Solomon

Key of E © 2001 L. Solomon

Come here boy, give me a listen, ain’t no foolish tale I’m dishin’;

Want to talk with erudition, about my favorite subject, fishin’;

To cast a line into the water, puts my life in perfect order;

You know now my true life mission…(pause)... to go fishin’.

I once had a girl so pretty, eyes as wide as New York City;

Body full, and oh, so curvy, made me feel like I was thirty;

Sometimes we would disagree, about where I was supposed to be;

In the end she set me free…(pause)… so I went fishin’.

Just slap on some suntan lotion, and go fishin’ by the ocean;

Then you’ll have a real good notion, of what I call a true love potion;

Bass or blues depends what’s bitin’, sure will make your day excitin’;

Cast a lure with perfect motion…(pause)… feel that emotion.

I like fishin’ of every kind, nothing like it to ease my mind,

To tie a hook to a piece of line, makes my inner soul feel fine,

I don’t care how long I wait, for a fish to nibble, at my bait,

If by luck, a fish I take, it’s just icing on the cake,

I’ll take fishin’ every time…(pause)...to ease my mind.

Some folks keep a coop of pigeons, some folks favor faith, religion;

Some sustain a lofty vision, set on tracks of old tradition;

I must admit these leave me cold, in the end when the story’s told;

When it comes to play or fold…(pause)...I go fishin’.

I like fishin’ of every kind, nothing like it to ease my mind,

To tie a hook to a piece of line, makes my inner soul feel fine,

I don’t care how long I wait, for a fish to nibble, at my bait,

If by luck, a fish I take, it’s just icing on the cake,

Yes, I’ll take fishin’ every time…(pause)... to ease my mind.
