No Fish Today

I'm sorry, Ma'am, No fish today (Oh lord, I'm poor What am I gonna do? I got a child and a mother, Two little sisters and a brother, Don't be cruel, It's not like you) I'm sorry Ma'am, No fish today Well I sailed out on the sea With an early morning breeze Like I always have And the salmon came along But I ran into a storm Before I had my catch Well I got what I could get At the price of getting wet Then I headed back The Authorities agreed That if anyone should eat It should be the upper class (Oh lord, I'm poor What am I gonna do? I got a child and a mother, Two little sisters and a brother, Don't be cruel, It's not like you) I'm sorry Ma'am, No fish today I'm neither right nor wrong I am just another pawn In the royal hand Don't expect me to rebel This is not a fairytale I'm no superman See I got to be this old Because I do as I am told And I understand Though they'd never miss the dent Of a half a dozen shrimp Why should I take the chance? (Oh lord, I'm poor What am I gonna do? I got a child and a mother, Two little sisters and a brother, Don't be cruel, It's not like you) I'm sorry Ma'am... Now if I were in your shoes I myself would find the food For my family So if all your people starve Then the fault's not in the stars And it's not in me I'm sorry Ma'am, No fish today No fish today... No fish today... No fish today...
