Gone Fishin'
From "Zoo Break — The Big Break"

Nobody knows my secret fishin' hole - Beyond the bend in the river.
That one deep spot where all the big fish stop - The water runs so clear and slow!
I'll set right down upon the grassy ground - Hey! This is my kind of livin'!
'Cause ev'ry fish for which ya' ever wished - Is swimmin' in my fishin' hole!

Nothin's finer than a -
Lazy day down by my fishin' hole - With my bait bucket and my fishing pole -
I just sit back and let the river flow - 'Cause I've Gone Fishin' today!
Don't ya' know, I like to -
Take my time beneath the clear blue sky - And shady trees along the riverside -
An' I'll be totin' home some fish to fry - 'Cause I've Gone Fishin' today!

Now, Mister Bear has got a nat'ral flair - There's just no way you can beat it!
He's out for fun along the salmon run - Not bothered that the water's cold!
He never misses when he grabs a fish - He plunks right down there to eat it!
But this smart fox brings out a tackle box - Down beside my fishin' hole!

Nothin's finer than a -
Lazy day down by my fishin' hole - With my bait bucket and my fishing pole -
I just sit back and let the river flow - 'Cause I've Gone Fishin' today!

And if the fish don't bite - You know that it'll be all right -
A lazy day is all I'm fishin' for - Besides, you can buy fish down at the grocery store!

There's nothin' sweeter than to swing your feet - A- danglin' down in the water.
The sun gets hot, but there's a real nice rock - Where you can set and cool your toes!
Pull down your cap, and maybe catch a nap - Or take a swim if ya' want ta'.
The fun - est way to spend a summer day - Is down beside my fishin' hole!
Nothin's finer than a -
Lazy day down by my fishin' hole - With my bait bucket and my fishing pole -
I just sit back and let the river flow - 'Cause I've Gone Fishin' today!
Don'tcha know, I like to -
Take my time beneath the clear blue sky - And shady trees along the riverside -
An' I'll be totin' home some fish to fry - 'Cause I've Gone Fishin' today!
