Lyrics
(Melody by Victor N. Pierpont, Lyrics by Oliver Orden)
A fisher went out to fish for fish
And this is the thought he thought:
It is better to bait the bass that bites
Than bite the bass that’s bought.
Then ho for sport for life is short,
And many’s the sort I’ve caught.
It is better to bait the bass that bites
Than bite the bass that’s bought!
