Well, the fish ain't bitin' but the skeeters are Little bugger's gone hidin', they don't wanna get caught It's too nice a day to be danglin' on the end of a line Had a bad day's fishin', beats a good day's work every time Little old worm around the big old hook He don't mind the water in this Babylon brook Just swimmin' around and havin' a flamin' good time He knows a bad day's fishin' beats a good day's work every time Well, a bad day's fishin' ain't a bad day at all Just as long as you're a-wettin' the line When the man up above is a-tallyin' up He's gonna look down at you and he'll smile Days spent fishin' is good for your soul So I'll just add it to the end of your life And a bad day's fishin' beats a good day's work every time Well, the fish swim by and he say to the worm Tell the fool up there he's a-gonna get burned Sleepin' in the sun like that mate, he's gonna fry He knows a bad day's fishin' beats a good day's work every time Well, a bad day's fishin' ain't a bad day at all Just as long as you're a-wettin' the line When the man up above is a-tallyin' up He's gonna look down at you and he'll smile He'll say Days spent fishin' is good for your soul So I'll just add it to the end of your life Hey, a bad day's fishin' beats a good day's work every time Well, a bad day's fishin' ain't a bad day at all Just as long as you're a-wettin' the line When the man up above is a-tallyin' up He's gonna look down at you and he'll smile He'll say Days spent fishin' is good for your soul So I'll just add it to the end of your life And a bad day's fishin' beats a good day's work A bad day's fishin' beats a good day's work A bad day's fishin' beats a good day's work every time
