I put my fish up for sale,
While it was still flopping around in the pail,
But, I didn't get a buyer,
Just one very high flyer,
An eagle stole my fish by the tail,
I went out trolling and caught me a boot,
It fit well so I trolled for a suit,
Now, all I caught was a shoe,
But, it was red, white and blue,
So, I gave it a naval salute.
I went fishing on thin ice on the river, The ice gave way and I froze my toes and my liver, Now, everything is fine, Though, my liver can't take wine, But, a glass of whisky does ward off the shiver.
I went fishing on the Forth Of July, I forgot my bobber so I fished with a fly, I didn't catch a bass hog, Just a floating pine log, With a branch that stuck me in my right eye.
