Lyrics
Fishing for fishies don't make them feel happy or me neither. I feel so sorry for fishies.

Don't matter to kiss and put back. Poor fishies should be free.*

I don't want to be fishing for fish. I just want to let them freely swim.

''I don't want to be fishing for fish. I just want to let them freely swim.''

Oh, your heart's a hook. Ego tied in knots; baiting fate. Don't do it; you ain't a god. Don't hunt salmon, carp or cod.

Fishing for fishies don't make them feel happy or me neither. I feel so sorry for fishies.

It seems like cruelty to me. You ain't hungry; leave them be.*

I don't want to be fishing for fish. I just want to let them freely swim.

''I don't want to be fishing for fish. I just want to let them freely swim.''

Oh, your heart's a hook. Ego tied in knots; baiting fate. Don't do it; you ain't a god. Don't hunt salmon, carp or cod.

Fishing for fishies don't make them feel happy or me neither. I feel so sorry for fishies.

Fishing for fishies don't make them feel happy or me neither. I feel so sorry for fishies.

I have been fishing and I don't want to catch none. I have been fishing and I don't want to catch none.

I've let them swum. I've let them swum. I've let them swum. I've let them swum.

I have been fishing and I don't want to catch none. I have been fishing and I don't want to catch none.
