All He Wants to Do Is Fish Lyrics by The Replacements

All for Nothing - Nothing for All

1997

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 could ruin his life
All he wants is 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 fishin' pole
All he wants to do is fish
All he wants to do is fish
You can call him Hymie
You can call him Stan
You can can call him stupid cause its probably what he am hey!
Hot Dog, yippie howdy ho
He's got his welfare check and some Wild Irish Rose
Mr hookey man has a hold of his head
And if he never lets go, he won't care
Bluegills, Bottle Bass, Crappies and Trout
He can't help it, that's all he thinks about
Ice Fishin' Fly Fishin' Fishin' in a stream
And when he goes to sleep at night he's fishin' 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 fishin' pole
All he wants to do is fish
All he wants to do is fish
