[Verse 1]
I'd rather go fishin'
Than out on some date
All you need to go fishin's
A rod and some bait
Then you sit
And you wait

Well, maybe you wait till
The Sun has set
And you ain't caught
Nothin' as yet
But, with my disposition
I'd rather go fishin'

[Verse 2]
I'd rather go fishin'
Than read a good book
The thing about fishin'
You don't need to look
At the worm
On your hook

Though readin' a book
Gives you food for thought
I prefer the edible sort
So, to fight malnutrition
I ups an'
Goes fishin'
[Bridge]
Some blokes climb up Everest
Some blokes build buildings
Some invent the cleverest things
That will knock 'em all flat

[Verse 3]
Oh, I'd rather go fishin'
Just stay at first base
Rather go fishin'
Than out into space
Where I'd feel
Out of place

So, if they invite me to
Have a go
I shall tell them
"Thank you, but no"
I'll just light the ignition
And then I'll go fishin'

[Outro]
Go fishin'

Woo!
Hee hee hee
