[Verse 1]
There must be something fishy going on
You said you were going on a fishing trip with some old friend
You said that you'd be home tonight somewhere around ten
Well here it is, it's two o'clock and you're still not at home
I think there's something fishy going on
[Verse 2]
I think that I'm a sucker that's swallowing your line
I try to make myself believe that it's all in my mind
But you never asked me if I'd like to go along
So there must be something fishy going on
[Chorus]
There's something fishy going on
On these fishing trips you're going on
I'm getting tired of staying home alone
[Bridge]
Some night when you come home and discover that I'm gone
You can bet there's something fishy going' on
[Verse 3]
I guess some largemouth bass left that lipstick on your shirt
I don't think you're a fisherman, honey
I think you're a flirt
Well if you're going fishing then why don't you bring them home
I think there's something fishy going on
[Chorus]
There's something fishy going on
On these fishing trips you're going on
I'm getting tired of staying home alone
[Outro]
Yes, you can bet there's something fishy going on
There must be something fishy going on
You said you were going on a fishing trip with some old friend
You said that you'd be home tonight somewhere around ten
Well here it is, it's two o'clock and you're still not at home
I think there's something fishy going on
[Verse 2]
I think that I'm a sucker that's swallowing your line
I try to make myself believe that it's all in my mind
But you never asked me if I'd like to go along
So there must be something fishy going on
[Chorus]
There's something fishy going on
On these fishing trips you're going on
I'm getting tired of staying home alone
[Bridge]
Some night when you come home and discover that I'm gone
You can bet there's something fishy going' on
[Verse 3]
I guess some largemouth bass left that lipstick on your shirt
I don't think you're a fisherman, honey
I think you're a flirt
Well if you're going fishing then why don't you bring them home
I think there's something fishy going on
[Chorus]
There's something fishy going on
On these fishing trips you're going on
I'm getting tired of staying home alone
[Outro]
Yes, you can bet there's something fishy going on
