Lyrics

 * Sometimes it's nice to take some time out
 * Do what you really want to do.
 * Just to relax and let the world fly by you.
 * Forget your worries, no need to hurry.
 * Just leave a sign to say...


 * Gone fishing, gone fishing.
 * It's a sunny old day and you're on your way
 * Gone fishing.
 * Gone fishing, Gone fishing.
 * It's a sunny old day and you're on your way.
 * Why don't we all go fishing?


 * You drop your line down to the river
 * Waiting to see what you can find.
 * Whatever life has to offer you.
 * You know you'll take it, stand up and face it
 * Smiling along the way...


 * Gone fishing, gone fishing.
 * It's a sunny old day and you're on your way
 * Gone fishing.
 * Gone fishing, Gone fishing.
 * It's a sunny old day and you're on your way.
 * Why don't we all go fishing?


 * There's nothing better on a sunny day
 * When all your work is done.
 * Throw down your line, settle down.
 * Surprise, surprise, look what you've found...


 * Gone fishing, gone fishing.
 * It's a sunny old day and you're on your way
 * Gone fishing.
 * Gone fishing, Gone fishing.
 * It's a sunny old day and you're on your way.
 * Why don't we all go fishing?


 * It's a sunny old day and you're on your way...
 * Gone fishing!
