Go John:
To the music of "Jingle Bells" -
Casting through the snow
-in an 80 horse open sled
On the Clackamas I did go
-on a report I had misread
Bells for plunkers ring
-making lines go tight
The drags on cheap reels sing
- another fish wins the fight
Oh Dingle bells, Dingle bells
-dingle bells casting lead
I'd have to be a Dingle Bell
-to freeze my face off in this sled
Wish I could blame this one on the EggNog
Bankie verses - take it RT:
O'er the fields we go
tromping down the hay
oh what fun it is to trespass
fishing on Christmas day ...
look in' at that drift
making graphite rise
having just gone walked so far
I think I chapped my thighs ...
time to fling a cast
my corky's driftin fast
gonna be a real cool blast
gotta make this last!...
didn't hook a fish
better try some jigs
yall know what is my next wish
not to catch more twigs ...
now it's gettin late
this could become a scare
have to try Marie's good bait
and hey - I land my pair!
do dat do dat dat ...
Thanks John, now I have that tune stuck in my head until I can go listen to some good rap music.
