This song is also available on Patty's Primary Songs album Roar Like a Lion! .
Dad says get up come on let's go
The fish are bitin, the sun is risin'
I put on my suit and flip flops too
Cuz I can't wait to get out in the blue.
I grabbed my pole and my tackle box
Got the compass and checked the clock.
Packed my bucket and lots of bait
“Come on Dad, I can’t wait!!!”
(CHORUS)
The boat is racing
The waves are splashing
The sun in shining bright
One by one we're catching fish
Won't come home til it’s night
A fisherman's life for me
A fisherman's life for me
I throw the anchor, it's time to fish
The sea is calm, I make a wish
To catch a big one, to show my friends.
We'll celebrate again and again.
But first I slowly tie a knot
Around my hook and bobber top
Then set the bait and here I go
I cast the line and wait for the show!
CHORUS
I wait on the boat. My pole's set and I sit
All of a sudden a great big hit!
I reel the line in to see my fish
One more tug he's in the boat with a swish
Flippin, floppin gils and fins
Dad takes a picture of me holding him!
It's so exciting to end this day
With a monster fish, as the fisherman say.
CHORUS X2
