Down around the bend in the water, bring your fishin' line
Come on Pearl, I'm rough and ready, got my fishin' pole
Down around the bend in the water to the fishin' hole

It's a fine July on a beautiful night
With a heavenly sky and moonlight on the bay

Down around the bend in the water, if you feel inclined
Come on Pearl, come on Kitty, I'm gonna make you mine

All around the world tonight
What a beautiful scene below
Too fine a time to stand in line
I'm gonna take my love to go
It's a fine July and a beautiful way
For a boy and a girl to pass the time of day

Come on Pearl, come on Kitty, if you feel inclined
Down around the bend in the water, bring your fishin' line

All around the world tonight
What a beautiful sight below
Too fine a time to stand in line
I'm gonna take my love to go
It's a fine July on a beautiful light
With a heavenly sky and moonlight on the bay

Down around the bend in the water, if you feel inclined
Come on Pearl, come on Kitty, bring your fishin' line
Come on Pearl, I'm rough and ready, got my fishin' pole
Down around the bend in the water to the fishin' hole
