gone fishin'

i'll tell you why i can't find you

every time i go out to your place. you gone fishin'

well there's a sign upon your door

gone fishin'

you ain't workin' anymore

there's your hoe out in the sun

where you left a row half done

you claim that hoein' ain't no fun

you ain't got no ambition

gone fishin' by a shady-wady pool

i'm wishin' i could be that kind of fool

i'd say no more work for mine

on my door i'd hang a sign

gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'

i stopped by your place a time or two lately

and you aren't home either

well

i'm a busy man

louis

i got a lotta big deals cookin'

i was probably tied up at the studio

you weren't tied up

you dog

you was just plain old. gone fishin'

there's a sign upon your door

gone fishin'

ooh

you ain't workin' anymore

cows need milkin' in the barn

but you just don't give a darn

you just never seem to learn

you ain't got no ambition

gone fishin'

got your hound dog by your side

gone fishin'

fleas are bitin' at his hide

folks won't find us now because

mister satch and mister cros

we gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'

bah-boo-baby-bah-boo-bah-bay-mmm-boo-bay

oh yeah!
