We've been watching the clock all afternoon
If the eagle screamed now it wouldn't be too soon
See me and buddy got a place to go
5 bucks'll get you in a fishing pole
(Talkin' 'bout)

(Pay lake)
Get your night crawlers
(Pay lake)
Get up in some holler
All you need is a line and a hook and cane pole
Bring a bucket of beer down to the old pay lake

We've got spinners and spoons, poppers and jigs
All night, milk jugging, catfish rigs
If that don't do it, we'll do it up right
Blow 'em belly up with the dynamite
(We're talkin' 'bout)

(Pay lake)
Get your night crawlers
(Pay lake)
Get up in some holler
All you need is a line and a hook and cane pole
Bring a bucket of beer down to the old pay lake

Now, one of these days I'm gonna have enough dough
To rent a bulldozer and an old back hoe
Put a hole in the field, hang my sign
A little rain water and I'll have mine
(Talkin' 'bout)

(Pay lake)
Get your night crawlers
(Pay lake)
Get up in some holler
All you need is a line and a hook and cane pole
Bring a bucket of beer down to the old pay lake
