Lyrics

[DB] I went fishing with my dad He showed me how to hook the bait He showed me how to cast the rod He never ever mentioned God We were in a different state We stood there fishing side by side I made up stories; he just smiled and smiled We didn't catch a single fish Which was, I think, my father's wish I went fishing with my dad I went fishing with my dad The sun grew shorter; shorter still The few words we had spoken ceased As time kept on I lost my will To live Fatigue increased Hey, Dad, too bad we caught no trout He said, "I hadn't noticed, son" You hadn't noticed, Dad, how come? He said, "Because I was having too much fun" [ALL] Really, really, really, Dad? [DB] Yes, we were having too much fun [ALL] Really, really, really, Dad? [DB] I was listening to you chatter And it really didn't matter [COMPANY] Ooh... [DB] What we caught And what we didn't 'Cause at least my kid is interested In what his old man has to say [ALL] What a perfect way [DB] To spend a [ALL] Perfect Saturday Saturday Ooh woah woah woah Ooh Ooh [DB] I went fishing with my son I taught him how to hook the bait I taught him how to cut the slack He caught a trout, but threw it back [OTHERS] Hmm [DB] And It Was Great [OTHERS] I went fishing with my Dad...
