Have You Ever Been A-fishin
Children's Song
Have you ever been a-fishin' on a bright sunny day?
Have you ever seen a fish swimming in an' out the bay?
with his hands in his pockets and his pockets in his pants?
Have you ever seen a fishy do the hootchy-kootchie dance?
Well, I have been a-fishin' on a bright sunny day.
And I have seen the fish swimming in an' out the bay.
with his hands in his pockets and his pockets in his pants.
But I never seen a fishy do the hootchy-kootchie dance.
