All He Wants to Do Is Fish

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 may ruin his life

He only wants 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 fishing pole



All he wants to do is fish

All he wants to do is fish

You can call him Jamie

You can call him Stan

You can call him stupid

'Cause it's probably what he am



Hot dog, yippee-ai-oh

He's got his welfare check

And some Wild Irish Rose

Mr. Hooky Man has a hold of his hand

And if he never lets go

He won't care



Bluegills, bottle bass, crawfish and trout

He can't help it, that's all he thinks about

Ice fishing, fly fishing, fishing in the stream

And when he goes to sleep at night

He's fishing 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 fishing pole

All he wants to do is fish

All he wants to do is fish
