lyrics

the fisherman's fishwife

he pulled a fish out of the ocean
said it made him feel like fishing every moment
moment of his life
his wife said "fish me something real and
you will make me happy
happier than I remember"

fishing makes me happy
happier than I have been in so long
fishing makes me happy
happier than I have been

"I remember meeting for the first time
days like that are so rare we don't
have them anymore
you were dark and handsomer than dad
Dad, I met a real nice boy...
he doesn't wear a nose ring

one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish
boy fish, girl fish, man fish, woman fish

he pulled a fish out of the ocean
happier than I have been
he is fishing every moment
moment of his life
his wife said "fish me something real"
I met a real nice boy...
can I bring him home?

cat fish, cod fish, rat fish, dog fish
selfish shellfish, bro-fish, tofu fish
