Well I wish I was a catfish,
Swimming in the deep blue sea.
All you pretty womens,
Fishing after me,
Fishing after me.
Well, I went down to my baby's house,
And I sat down on the steps.
She said, Come on in and have me,
My old man just left,
Just now left.

Well, there's two trains a runnin',
And there's not one, goin' my way.
One runs at midnight,
Other just for day.
Other just for day.
Other just for day.
Other just for day.
Other just for day.

Hey..........

Well, she's long,
And she's so tall,
Well, she shakes,
Like a willow tree.

They say she's no good,
She's alright with me.
Right with me.
Right with me.
Right with me.
Right with me.

Well I wish I was a catfish,
Swimming in the deep blue sea.
All you pretty women,
Swimmin' after me,
Swimmin' after me.

I wish I was your catfish.

Lazy stadium night
Catfish on the mound.
Strike three," the umpire said,
Batter have to go back and sit down.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Used to work on Mr. Finley's farm
But the old man wouldn't pay
So he packed his glove and took his arm
An' one day he just ran away.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Come up where the Yankees are,
Dress up in a pinstripe suit,
Smoke a custom-made cigar,
Wear an alligator boot.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Carolina born and bred,
Love to hunt the little quail.
Got a hundred-acre spread,
Got some huntin' dogs for sale.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Reggie Jackson at the plate
Seein' nothin' but the curve,
Swing too early or too late
Got to eat what Catfish serve.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Even Billy Martin grins
When the Fish is in the game.
Every season twenty wins
Gonna make the Hall of Fame.

Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.

Hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey
She was a disco queen
She came from New Orleans
Catfish was her name
Dancin' was her claim to fame

She took me to a fish fry
The girl danced all night
Catfish sure was nice
She makes my nature rise

Ooh, she was amazin'
She kept her guessin'
But Lord, as she danced across the floor
So tantalizin'
So satisfyin'
So hypnotizin'
So mesmerizin'

What a girl she is
I wanna be with her
And dance forevermore

Oh, let me tell you about
Catfish makes my nature rise
Catfish makes my nature rise
Get on down, girl
Catfish makes my nature rise

Catfish makes my nature rise

Boogie for 'em, Catfish
She makes my nature rise

Hey, hey, hey, hey Catfish
Rise

Ooh, she's amazin'
She kept everybody guessin'
You oughta been there
As she moved
And grooved across the floor

Catfish was tantalizin'
Appetizin', satisfyin'
Mesmerizin', so hypnotizin'
Yes, she can boogie
I just wanna dance with her forevermore

Let me tell y'all
Catfish makes my nature rise
Catfish makes my nature rise

Hey, listen
She's from New Orleans
Former beauty queen
Grandma raised her on collard greens
She did, hey, hey
Catfish makes my nature rise
Catfish makes my nature rise

She's got great big boots
And a booty to boot
Boy, that girl can shoot the coop
She can
Catfish
Catfish makes my nature rise

Well I wish I was a catfish,
Swimming in the deep blue sea.
All you pretty womens,
Fishing after me,
Fishing after me.
Well, I went down to my baby's house,
And I sat down on the steps.
She said, Come on in and have me,
My old man just left,
Just now left.

Well, there's two trains a runnin',
And there's not one, goin' my way.
One runs at midnight,
Other just for day.
Other just for day.
Other just for day.
Other just for day.
Other just for day.

Hey..........

Well, she's long,
And she's so tall,
Well, she shakes,
Like a willow tree.

They say she's no good,
She's alright with me.
Right with me.
Right with me.
Right with me.
Right with me.

Well I wish I was a catfish,
Swimming in the deep blue sea.
All you pretty women,
Swimmin' after me,
Swimmin' after me.

I wish I was your catfish.
