The Lyrics
Gonna take you, baby,
Down by the riverbed.
Gonna get you something
Roll then fry post-bread.
’cause I, I got a line,
I got a line for food, babe.
I, I got a line,
I got a line for food, babe.
Gonna put a worm on, squirmy;
The fish will take it for grub.
Ichthyophagous chew—
Delish grub for you.
There’s a tug on the line;
I’ll reel—see what I find.
So I, I trawl the line,
I trawl the line for food, babe.
I, I trawl the line,
I trawl the line for food, babe.
And so, the filament gets closer;
There’s something that’s pulling strong.
I can tug it, tug it, tug it;
We got beer along.
So I, I haul the line,
I haul the line for food, babe.
I, I haul the line
I haul the line for food, babe.
All I got’s an old boot, babe!!
Down by the riverbed.
Gonna get you something
Roll then fry post-bread.
’cause I, I got a line,
I got a line for food, babe.
I, I got a line,
I got a line for food, babe.
Gonna put a worm on, squirmy;
The fish will take it for grub.
Ichthyophagous chew—
Delish grub for you.
There’s a tug on the line;
I’ll reel—see what I find.
So I, I trawl the line,
I trawl the line for food, babe.
I, I trawl the line,
I trawl the line for food, babe.
And so, the filament gets closer;
There’s something that’s pulling strong.
I can tug it, tug it, tug it;
We got beer along.
So I, I haul the line,
I haul the line for food, babe.
I, I haul the line
I haul the line for food, babe.
All I got’s an old boot, babe!!

I don't know about food, but you are in line for fives!!!
Angling for good scores? Good job as usual, and don't worry about the boot - you can have fillet of "sole"! ;D
Yeah, PirateJack, just an old Boot & a Trick Knee, sirSweaty !
in a dream last night: PirateJack, on board HMS ~SirSweaty~, waves were high, rocking the pirateShip; as I cried out to the Heaven's for help, I saw you up there on the ropes; Then the Deck tilted & I went sliding down the SoggyDeck . . .was Swallowed into the Hatch below; I tumbled onto a Sea oFeathers with YOU ~ ~ ~ Grinning/Laughing your head off, Sir ! ! I awoke in a Tizzy ! !
I like fish and I like this parody..........................@ LCC...a Tizzy..wasn't that a compact car model by GM.. discontinued a few years back?
. . it was nightmare Sir L'Air, with the waves way above the side of the ship ! ! I just couldn't get a grip onto the slippery Deck, to keep from sliding down into the hatch . . . it was awful feeling; so very Real ! !
. . these parodies are creeping into my dreams . . my subConsious; I must take a Spiritual~Break & refrain from the Temptations of the ~Gents 0Parody~!
Seems every man's got an "angle"... ;) 555
You food around and fell in love. This foodie says 5's
You sure caught 3 sets of 5's with this one! Great job, John Barry!
Hey, JB. Long time since I've looked around over here. Noticed you used one of my favorite OS songs from way back when. Good job. 5's across
