Out on this fishin’ boat this mornin’
Wearin’ this bright orange vest
Spent yesterday preparin’
Last night I got plenty of rest
Got my Ugly Stick rod and reel
My Folgers can is filled with bait
Just loaded my Eagle Claw hook
Cast my line, and now I wait
All I need now is the fish
You know the kind
The one who’s foolish enough
Cause it’s nearly blind
It can’t tell the difference
Between fake and real
A 3-pound bass would be ideal
Prayed to Jesus to grant my wish
All I need now is the fish
Here fishy, fishy, fishy…
All I need now is the fish
My wife’s back at the cabin
She hasn’t gotten up yet
I wanna cook her breakfast
One she’ll never forget
I look out to the sunrise
I’m hopin’ God will provide
Here fishy, fishy, fishy…
So delicious with biscuits & fried
All I need now is the fish
And I’ll be good to go
I’ll wait here patiently
With my thermos of hot Joe
I could bring home a Catfish
Or a big ol’ Rainbow Trout
Then I’ll pack it all up and I’ll be out
Please Jesus, won’t you grant me this wish –
So I can treat her with a special anniversary dish
Here fishy, fishy, fishy, fishy, fishy, fishy
All I need now is the fish.
