Well we walk to the fish And we talk to the fish Yes we do, yes we do, yes we do Got a tale to relate With our poles and our bait Yes we do, yes we do, yes we do
From the time that we rise Till the moon hits our eyes We will sit by the dock of the bay With our hooks and our lines Never know what we'll find As we wait for the catch of the day
Now it's late in the night Still we wait for a bite Yes we do, yes we do, yes we do We got lots we could say Bout the ones that got away Yes we do, yes we do, yes we do
From the time that we rise Till the moon hits our eyes We will sit by the dock of the bay With our hooks and our lines Never know what we'll find As we wait and we wait And we wait and we wait And we wait for the catch of the day
