Lyrics
Wish For A Fish
V1: Sitting on a lake with the sun a' beating down
Roasting in a raft and I'm starting to frown
Daddy said that the fish would be biting
But I'm getting so bored that I feel like fighting
Just when I start to cry and quibble
The pole dips down, "Dad, I got a nibble!"
Ch: We wish for a fish to put on our dish!
V2: Dad says, "Gee, kids, we're having fun now!"
If this is fun then I'm having a cow!
Just when he's about to give in
The danged old pole gets a nibble again!
Daddy says tonight on fish we'll dine
If we keep on repeating those same old lines...
Ch: We wish for a fish to put on our dish!
Br: We just aren't meeting them on their terms
Maybe they don't like those stinky old worms!
Daddy, do we have to float all day?
It's gross to clean the fish anyway!
Ch: We wish for a fish to put on our dish!
We wish for a fish to put on our dish!
We wish for a fish to put on our dish!!!!
