THERE'S SOMETHIN' FISHY GOIN' ON
(Dolly Parton)


Dolly Parton - 1967



        

There must be somethin' fishy goin' on

You said you were goin' on a fishin' trip with some old friend
You said that you'd be home tonight somewhere around ten
Well, here it is, it's two o'clock and you're still not at home
I think there's somethin' fishy goin' on

I think that I'm the sucker that's swallowing your line
I try to make myself believe that it's all in my mind
But you never ask me if I'd like to go along
So there must be somethin' fishy goin' on

There's somethin' fishy goin' on 
On these fishing trips you're goin' on
I'm gettin' tired of stayin' home alone
Some night when you come home 
And discover that I'm gone
You can bet there's somethin' fishy goin' on

I guess some large-mouth bass left that lipstick on your shirt
I don't think you're a fisherman, honey, I think you're a flirt
Well if you're goin'g fishin', then why don't you bring 'em home
I think there's somethin' fishy goin' on

There's somethin' fishy goin' on 
On these fishing trips you're goin' on
I'm gettin' tired of stayin' home alone
Some night when you come home 
And discover that I'm gone
You can bet there's somethin' fishy goin' on
Yes, you can bet there's somethin' fishy goin' on
