Gone Fishin' - Nick & Charles Kenny ( 1950 )
Bing Crosby

GONE FISHIN'
 (Nick A. Kenny / Charles F. Kenny)

 I'll tell you why I can't find you
 Every time I go out to your place...

 You gone fishin' (well 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 (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 (well I can prove it)
 You ain't got no ambition

 Gone fishin' by a shady wady pool (Shangrila, really la)
 I'm wishin' I could be that kind of fool (should 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 (yeah Louis)
 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 deals cookin'
 I was probably tied up at the studio
 You weren't tied up you dog
 You was just plain old...

 Gone fishin' (bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah)
 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 a 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' (bah-boo-dah-do-dah-do-dah-do)
 Got your hound dog by your side (that's old Cindy-Lou goin' with me)
 Gone fishin' (mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm)
 Fleas are bitin' at his hide (get away from me boy, you bother me)

 Mmm, 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-bo-bay
 Oh yeah!
