Goin' Fishin'

Lyrics: Johnnie Johnson, Jimmy Vivino
Music: Johnnie Johnson, Jimmy Vivino

Played by Johnnie Johnson with Ratdog on several occasions.

I'm tired of all this rockin'
I'm tired of this rhythm and blues
I'm gonna get me a boat and go down to the coast
And kick off my blue suede shoes

Chorus
I'm goin' fishin'
I'm goin' fishin'
If you can't wait
To get you some bait
Then come go fishin' with me

I love to play my boogie
I love to play my jazz
But give me a break, I'm goin' down to the lake
And catch me a wide-mouthed bass

[chorus]
[chorus]

You can dance off Johnny B Goode
You can swing on Tanqueray
But in my dreams, I'm going up the stream
I'll be back in thirty days

I'm goin' fishin'
I'm goin' fishin'
Go get you some bait
And meet me at the lake
And come go fishin' with me

I'm goin' fishin'
I'm goin' fishin'
I'm goin' fishin'
I'm goin' fishin'
If you can't wait
To get you some bait
Then come go fishin' with me
