Like a catfish in the river
Like a flounder in the sea
When the right chick comes along
She always makes a fool of me

I go hook, line and sinker
Hook, line and sinker
Hook, line and sinker
That's the way I go for you

Now there was a little fishy
Swimming in the brook
He was doing fine until he got himself a hook

Hook, line and sinker
Hook, line and sinker
Hook, line and sinker
That's the way I go for you

I tries to telephone you
Tried to telegram too
Even tried to write a letter
How I feel about you

I go hook, line and sinker
Hook, line and sinker
Hook, line and sinker
That's the way I go for you

Now if you're ever feeling lonely
And you don't know what to do
Telephone me honey I'll be waiting here for you

I go hook, line and sinker
Hook, line and sinker
Hook, line and sinker
That's the way I go for you

Like a catfish in the river
Like a flounder in the sea
When the right chick comes along
She always makes a fool of me

I go hook, line and sinker
Hook, line and sinker
Hook, line and sinker
That's the way I go for you
