Gone Fishin' Lyrics - Bing Crosby

I'll tell you why I can't find you 

Every time I go out to your place... 

You gone fishin' (well how you know) 

Well there's a sign upon your door (uh-huh) 

Gone fishin' (I'm real gone man) 

You ain't workin' anymore (could be) 

There's your hoe out in the sun 

Where you left a row half done 

You claim that hoein' ain't no fun (well I can prove it) 

You ain't got no ambition 

Gone fishin' by a shady wady pool (Shangrila, really la) 

I'm wishin' I could be that kind of fool (should I twist your arm?) 

I'd say no more work for mine (welcome to the club) 

On my door I'd hang a sign 

Gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'

Papa Bing (yeah Louis) 

I stopped by your place a time or two lately 

And you aren't home either 

Well, I'm a busy man Louis. I got a lotta deals cookin' 

I was probably tied up at the studio 

You weren't tied up you dog 

You was just plain old... 

Gone fishin' (bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah) 

There's a sign upon your door (Pops, don't blab it around, will you?) 

Gone fishin' (keep it shady, I got me a big one staked out) 

Mmm, you ain't workin' anymore (I don't have to work, I got me a piece of Gary) 

Cows need milkin' in the barn (I have the twins on that detail, they each take a side) 

But you just don't give a darn (give 'em four bits a cow and hand lotion) 

You just never seem to learn (man, you taught me) 

You ain't got no ambition (you're convincin' me)

Fleas are bitin' at his hide (get away from me boy, you bother me)

Bah-boo-baby-bah-boo-bah-bay-mmm-bo-bay
