Lyrics

Fishermen go out to sea

Where delicious fishes be

They cast their nets in hope of eel or cod

In pond and lake and stream

'Tis every angler's dream

To bang the big one armed with reel and rod

Tuna, perch, and halibut and flounder

Snapper, choppin' schools of fat walleye

The one that got away's a hundred pounder

But this old soul's got bigger fish to fry

I'm after somethin' else, ya see

'Tis gold and silver waits for me

There's nowhere else I'd rather be

Than fishin' for money

Pennies, nickels, dimes, and next

Come pounds, doubloons and traveler's checks

Cast off, middies, clear the decks

I'm fishin' for money

Fishin' for money

There off the starboard bow

Could be a real cash cow

I stand ready with me hook and line

All hands fore and aft

Up to the mizzenmast

You, keep a sharp eye out for dollar signs!

[gasp] Hold on, I thought I felt a little nibble

I reel it in and put it in me sack

Big or small don't matter, I don't quibble

And you can bet I don't throw nothin' back

Shekels, pesos, euros, lira

All currency from farer and nearer

No credit cards accepted here-a

I'm fishin' for money

What herring, sturgeon, or sardine

Compares with rolls of foldin' green

My wallet's fat when times are lean

I'm fishin' for money

Trollin', trollin'

We troll for Moby Dollar, there she blows!

Rollin', rollin'

We reelin' in and rollin' in the dough

When all the world's been bought and sold

Gold's still worth its weight in gold

Come to daddy, oh motherload

I'm fishin' for money

I pinch a penny twenty ways

And save it for a rainy day

Whatever I can sull to weigh

I'm fishin' for money

Oh register, your pretty ring

I love to listen to you sing

Me favorite song, ka-ching! Ka-ching!

I'm fishin', fishin', fishin' for money

Fishin' for money!

Woohoohoo, I love it! Ka-ching...
