[Verse 1]
Oh catfish, come on my line
Oh catfish, come in my hand
Oh catfish, say you'll be mine
You're going to walk on land

[Verse 2]
Oh sunfish, come to my bait
Oh sunfish, come to my palm
Oh sunfish, please don't be late
Comfort my inner man

[Bridge]
Catfish, sunfish, pickerel, eel
You're best fried in fresh cornmeal
White perch, bullhead, yellow trout
Take that hook, don't you spit it out

[Verse 3]
Oh, two hungry friends are we
Oh, you are a noble fish
Oh, hark to this desperate plea
Fill up our empty dish (Come on now)

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Oh catfish, you are divine
Oh bullhead, I love you too
Oh catfish, say you'll be mine
Make all my dreams come true

[Bridge]
Catfish, sunfish, pickerel, eel
You're best fried in fresh cornmeal
White perch, bullhead, yellow trout
Take that hook, don't you spit it out

[Verse 3]
Oh, two hungry friends are we
Oh, you are a noble fish
Oh, hark to this desperate plea
Fill up our empty dish
Fill up our empty dish
