The Lyrics
went, with my rod, to the jetty
jerkin' on my line, lots of fish, all day
but i've never caught one, worthy of keepin'
worryin' that my patience might wear thin
big reel, keep on turnin'
trout, merrily, keep churnin'
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
been around this place, where men fish
dumped a lot of bait, but results, not seen
yes, i've only caught the weak and itty-bitty
as i pitch my fly in this river bed's stream
big reel, keep on turnin'
trout, merrily, keep churnin'
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
when i come down to the river
trout, i wanna find, to slap on my dish
but i never worry...bait don't cost much money
peaceful on this river...just happy to fish
big reel, keep on turnin'
trout, merrily, keep churnin'
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
jerkin' on my line, lots of fish, all day
but i've never caught one, worthy of keepin'
worryin' that my patience might wear thin
big reel, keep on turnin'
trout, merrily, keep churnin'
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
been around this place, where men fish
dumped a lot of bait, but results, not seen
yes, i've only caught the weak and itty-bitty
as i pitch my fly in this river bed's stream
big reel, keep on turnin'
trout, merrily, keep churnin'
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
when i come down to the river
trout, i wanna find, to slap on my dish
but i never worry...bait don't cost much money
peaceful on this river...just happy to fish
big reel, keep on turnin'
trout, merrily, keep churnin'
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river
trollin'...trollin'...trollin' on the river

Alvin, you're one of the masters of syllable-matching ..... 5s
I was kind of wary after the first two lines but I persevered and what a charming fishing parody.
I know what you mean, Royce: but what's a parody without a little double entendre...
You hooked a keeper, here..5's
Better than a pocket fisherman! Using a well crafted parody is the best way to TACKLE five fishin'.
thanks johnny royce phil (because of rod ????...jerkin' ???...you guys got dirty minds...lol.......thanks AFW and red ant
From "where men fish" for "Memphis" this parody had me; hook, line and sinker.
Really funny, 555's
Good one. Good sub - 'men fish' for 'Memphis '.
thanks peter larry and adagio
Alvin, we might have wee dirty minds, but it takes someone with a spoon to stir em up--though I know you never would...
not me, royce....unless under dire circumstances...lol
three fat fishes and 5's
thanks carol
Ingenious, what everyone said about subs, matching, etc., but the biggest double-entendre was in the title. I expected something completely different from "Trolling"; didn't anyone else? Fives for being a Master Baiter.
