Well now, take down your fishing pole and meet me at the fishing hole.
We may not get a bite all day, but don't you rush away.
What a great place to rest your bones and mighty fine for skipping stones.
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade a-setting in the shade.
Whether it's hot, whether it's cool,
Oh what a spot for whistling like a fool.
What a fine day to take a stroll and wind up at the fishing hole.
I can't think of a better way to pass the time of day.
