Gone Fishin' (Single Version)

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

Every time I go out to your place

You gone fishin'

Now how you know?

Well, there's a sign upon your door

Uh-huh

Gone fishin'

I'm real gone, man

You ain't workin' anymore

It could be

There's your hoe out in the sun

Where you left a row half done

You claim that hoein' ain't no fun

But I can prove it

You ain't got no ambition

Gone fishin'

By a shady-wady pool

Shangri-La, really la

I'm wishin'

I could be that kind of fool

Shall I twist your arm?

I'd say no more work for mine

Welcome to the club

On my door, I'd hang a sign

Gone fishin'

Instead of just a-wishin'

Papa Bing, I've stopped by your place a time or two lately

Yeah, Louis?

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 ol'

Gone fishin'

There's a sign upon your door

Pops, don't blab it around, will you?

Gone fishin'

Keep it shady, I got me a big one staked out

Mmm, you ain't workin' anymore

I don't have to work, I got me a piece of Gary

Cows need milkin' in the barn

I have the twins on that detail, they each take a side

But you just don't give a darn

Give 'em four bits of cow and hand lotion

You just never seem to learn

Man, you taught me

You ain't got no ambition

You're convincin' me

Gone fishin'

Got your hound dog by your side

That's ol' Cindy-Lou goin' with me

Gone fishin'

Fleas are bitin' at his hide, mmm

Get away from me, boys, you're botherin' me

Folks won't find us now because

Mr. Satch and Mr. Cros'

We gone fishin'

Instead of just a-wishin'

Oh, yeah
