Bernard Cribbins — Id Rather Go Fishing

[Verse 1] I'd rather go fishin' Than out on some date All you need to go fishin's A rod and some bait Then you sit And you wait Well, maybe you wait till The Sun has set And you ain't caught Nothin' as yet But, with my disposition I'd rather go fishin' [Verse 2] I'd rather go fishin' Than read a good book The thing about fishin' You don't need to look At the worm On your hook Though readin' a book Gives you food for thought I prefer the edible sort So, to fight malnutrition I ups an' Goes fishin' [Bridge] Some blokes climb up Everest Some blokes build buildings Some invent the cleverest things That will knock 'em all flat [Verse 3] Oh, I'd rather go fishin' Just stay at first base Rather go fishin' Than out into space Where I'd feel Out of place So, if they invite me to Have a go I shall tell them "Thank you, but no" I'll just light the ignition And then I'll go fishin' [Outro] Go fishin' Woo!
