Catch and Release

(lyrics by Linda McCarthy, music by Rick Quimby)

I’ve been fishing for a compliment, washing out to sea.

I’m not a bottom dweller…that’s way too high for me.

I don’t need an angelfish, a shark is not my speed

An octopus has 8 arms, but 2 is all I need.

 

Chorus:

I’m looking for the bait-bait-bait, land me a date-date-date,

Throw out some chum-chum-chum, maybe get me some…

Pull in the line-line-line, this night I’ll call you mine!

No Fish & Game police, catch and release

 

Now some fish travel all alone, some move around in schools.

Some dine on one another, ‘cause they’re hungry or they’re fools.

Some fish are proud to be the rogue, they’re not in vogue with time,

You need to know I trolled a bit to net that little rhyme…

 

[Chorus]

 

The lures are in the tackle box, the bobber’s bobbing nice.

I ordered up some sushi, what wine goes well with rice?

I smile a silly little smile, you make a fishy face…

The moon is in alignment, and the starfish are in place.

 

[Chorus]

 

Ending chorus:

 

We’re looking for the bait-bait-bait, land us a date-date-date,

Throw out some chum-chum-chum, maybe we’ll get some…

Pull in the line-line-line, this night will be so fine…

For watching NEMO on my DVD

Just you and me…Catch and Release
