It's early in the morning, way before dawn
I down a cup of coffee, put my lucky hat on
Get down to the water before all the crowds
Gonna have more fun than the law allows

With my hot rod, I go out to cruise
When I'm on the prowl, I never lose
I fire up my Merc and put the throttle down
'Cause I've got the fastest fishing boat in town
I open up my tackle box, it's so big!
Crank baits, sink baits, beer and jigs
Got my bobbers on, and my 10 pound test
Gonna catch me a lunker gonna be the best

(Gonna go fishing) Gonna have some fun
(Gonna go fishing) 'Cause it's number one
(Gonna go fishing) Gonna sit on my butt
(Gonna catch a fish) And scrape out its guts
Ahhh, fishing!

I fish on the lake, by the sunken tree stump
Between the sewage output, and the chemical dump
Don't swim in the lake, says a sign on a tree
It's a good thing that fish can't read
I got my 10 dollar lure, the one that floats
And I make a big cast from my 20 grand boat
With my thousand dollar rod, or maybe it's more
Gonna catch me a fish that's 5 bucks at the store

(Gonna go fishing) Gonna have some fun
(Gonna go fishing) 'Cause it's number one
(Gonna go fishing) Gonna sit on my butt
(Gonna catch a fish) And scrape out its guts
Ahhh, fishing!

I feel something tugging on the end of my line
(Tug, tug, tug, tug, tug that line)
I'm gonna catch a fish, it's gonna be so fine
(Fish, fish, fish, fish, fish so fine)
Oh it feels so good to touch fish slime
(Slime, slime, slime, slime, fishy slime)
There's nothing else to do with my free time
(Time, time, time, time, waste of time)
Ahhh, Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhhhhhh
Let's catch a fishfishfishfishfishfishfishfishfishfishfishfishfish

(Gonna go fishing) Gonna have some fun
(Gonna go fishing) 'Cause it's number one
