Little Boy Fishing
Shirley Abicair Lyrics

Little boy fishin off a wooden pier
A young boy is fishing from a wooden pier

Come fish, bite fish, swim along here
The boy is trying to attract fish to his line with bait

Little boy wonder why the fish don't float
The boy is curious why fish don't float on the water's surface

Little boy wanna buy a fishin boat
The boy wants to buy a fishing boat to improve his fishing experience

Little boy got to buy boat some way
The boy needs to find a way to obtain the funds necessary to buy a boat

Then he go fishin all the live long day
Once he has a boat, he can fish all day

Dog fish, cat fish, any this or that fish
The boy hopes to catch different types of fish

Please swim by my line
The boy is asking the fish to come close to his fishing line

Can't catch shell fish, but I want to sell fish
The boy wants to catch fish to sell and earn money

Got to make some money for that boat of mine
The boy needs to earn money to buy his own fishing boat

Little boy dreaming with a secret smile
The boy is happily dreaming about something he's keeping to himself

Some day sail away cannibal isle
The boy dreams of sailing to a faraway place called Cannibal Isle

Little boy wonder when his boat will come
The boy is wondering when he can finally obtain his own fishing boat

Little boy slumber now the day is done
The boy falls asleep after a long day of fishing and dreaming

Dreaming is nothing if it ain't worth while
Dreaming is only valuable if it's something that's important to you

Keep on dreaming little man-child
The boy should continue to dream despite any setbacks he may face

Many a general would eat his hat
Even important people would be surprised if the boy's dreams came true

To give away talking and to do just that
To achieve his dreams, the boy needs to stop talking about them and take action

Little boy richer than a millionaire
The boy is content with what he has, even though he doesn't have a lot of money

All he got is trouble and care
Despite his happiness, the boy still faces challenges and worries

Soon enough little boy'll grow big man
The boy will grow up and become an adult

Then he go fishing for the frying pan
Once he's an adult, he'll still enjoy fishing, but will now cook and eat the fish he catches

Little boy sleepy and he sail away
The boy falls asleep and dreams about sailing away

In his dreamboat down to Blanket Bay
In his dream, the boy sails to a place called Blanket Bay
