He’s lazy, but he’s lovable, we know him like a book

Anytime he can’t be found, we know just where to look:

Gone fishin', there’s a sign upon his door

Gone fishin', he ain’t workin' anymore

There’s his hoe out in the sun where he left a row half done

He said «hoein' ain’t no fun», he ain’t got no ambition

Gone fishin' by a shady wady pool

I’m wishin' I could be that kinda fool

I’d say no more work for mine on my door I’d hang a sign

Gone fishin' Instead of just a wishin'

Gone fishin'.. .see him snoozin' by a brook

Gone fishin'.. .didn't even bait his hook

There’s his hound dog by his side fleas are bitin' at his hide

He won’t scratch 'em he’s to tired he ain’t got no ambition

Gone fishin'.. .learnin' fishin' worms to swim

I’m wishin.. .he wuz me and I wuz him

Wish I had a plane to fly here’s what I’d write in the sky

Gone' fishin'.. .instead of jest awishin'

Gone fishin'.. .

he don’t worry 'bout no wars

Gone fishin'.. .left his wife to do the chores

Cows need milkin' in the barn but he jest don’t give a darn

See his fishin' pole is gone he’s on a secret mission

Gone fishin'.. .out where peace has never died

I’m wishin'.. .all the world was by his side

Then our guns we’d throw away grab a fishin' pole and say
