The Lyrics

Girl, come on now, let's get goin',
We're gonna do some fishin' and some boatin'.
Girl, why do you wear a scowl?
We'll cast lines in the deep and get tight.

Yeah, so grab the cooler now,
We're gonna do some drinkin' and some floatin'.
Oh yeah, you'll really love it now.
We've gotta leave before morning light.

You're reelin' with me. (3x)

Girl, just let the line drift free,
It's gonna find its way in the tide.
Girl, go get me a beer now,
Please tell me that it's real and not lite.

Yeah, I think you've hooked one now--
No wait, I believe that I can see a spruce bough.
Oh yeah, please stop a-reelin' now.
It's not a keeper; it don't look right:

You're reelin' a tree. (3x)
Oh, no!

[Sound of line being reeled in]

See, you've gotta set it free,
'Cause it's not a fish and can't be fried.
Girl, don't walk out on the prow,
The water's deep and the sharks are white.

Yeah, I'm really PO'd now,
Just leave the damn conifer in the ocean, yeah!
Oh yeah, you got me reelin' now.
When's the last time you saw a tree bite?!

You're reelin' a tree. (3x)

Something fishy going on here, but John Barry remains a well-respected man.
