All he wants to do is fish
All he wants to do is fish
Don't have a home
Don't have a name
He don't know fortune
And he don't know fame

All he wants to do is fish
All he wants to do is fish
Don't want a job
A job may ruin his life
He only wants a woman
Who can be his fishin' wife

All he wants to do is fish
All he wants to do is fish
For some it takes a lot
To make their life whole
But all he needs is water and
His fishing pole

All he wants to do is fish
All he wants to do is fish
You can call him Jamie
You can call him Stan
You can call him stupid
'Cause it's probably what he am

Hot dog, yippee-ai-oh
He's got his welfare check
And some Wild Irish Rose
Mr. Hooky Man has a hold of his hand
And if he never lets go
He won't care

Bluegills, bottle bass, crawfish and trout
He can't help it, that's all he thinks about
Ice fishing, fly fishing, fishing in the stream
And when he goes to sleep at night
He's fishing in his dreams

All he wants to do is fish
All he wants to do is fish
For some it takes a lot to make their life whole
But all he needs is water and
His fishing pole
All he wants to do is fish
All he wants to do is fish
