Fishin’ for Money

Fishermen go out to sea
Where delicious fishies be
They cast their nets in hope of eel or cod

In pond and lake and stream
'Tis every angler's dream
To bag the big one armed with reel and rod

Tuna perch and halibut and flounder
Snapper, choppin' schools of fat walleye
The one that got away's a hundred pounder
But this old soul's got bigger fish to fry

I'm after somethin' else, ya see
'Tis gold and silver waits for me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Than fishin' for money

Pennies, nickels, dimes, and next
Come pounds, doubloons and traveler's checks
Cast off, mateys, clear the decks
I'm fishin' for money

Fishin' for money

There off the starboard bow
Could be a real cash cow
I stand ready with me hook and line

All hands fore and aft
Up to the mizzen-mast
You, keep a sharp eye out for dollar signs!

Hold on, I thought I felt a little nibble
I reel it in and put it in me sack
Big or small don't matter, I don't quibble
And you can bet I don't throw nothin' back

Shekels, pesos, euros, lira
All currency from farer and nearer
No credit cards accepted here-a
I'm fishin' for money

What herring, sturgeon, or sardine
Compares with rolls of foldin' green
My wallet's fat when times are lean
I'm fishin' for money

Trollin', trollin'
We troll for Moby Dollar, thar she blows!
Rollin', rollin'
We reelin' in and rollin' in that dough

When all the world's been bought and sold
Gold's still worth its weight in gold
Come to daddy, oh mother load
I'm fishin' for money

I pinch a penny twenty ways
And save it for a rainy day
Whatever I can sull to weigh
I'm fishin' for money

Oh register, your pretty ring
I love to listen to you sing
Me favorite song, ka-ching! Ka-ching!
I'm fishin', fishin', fishin' for money
Fishin' for money!

Woohoohoo, I love it!
Ka-ching!
