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
