Baby, what'cha doin' 'round here?
I'm the same catch you hooked las' year.
You bait your hook with a kiss,

You're in the wrong lake to catch a fish.

Go ahead, throw in your line.

You won't have no luck this time.
Please don't try to insist,
You're in the wrong lake to catch a fish.


My, but you shor' look pretty.
Yes, and you dress so nice.

But my papa always told me,
"Never be the same fool twice."


So, baby, be on your way.
I hope you catch your fish someday.
Scratch me off your list,

You're in the wrong lake to catch a fish.

[Instrumental break.]


My, but you shor' look pretty.

So, baby, be on your way.
Well, I hope you catch your fish someday.
Please don't try to insist.

You're in the wrong lake to catch a fish.

You in the right town, go further on down.

You're in the wrong lake to catch a fish.
