[whistling theme from T_he Andy Griffith Show_]

Well, now, take down your fishin’ pole and meet me at The Fishin’ Hole,  
We may not get a bite all day, but don’t you rush away.

Or would you rather be a fish?  
A fish is an animal that swims in a brook  
He can’t write his name or read a book

In an octopus’s garden, in the shade.

\*Is that our chorus? \* Anyhoo…

I’d like to be, under the sea,  
in an octopus’s garden in the shade  
he’d let us in, knows where we’ve been  
in his octopus’s garden in the shade

Wherever you run I’ll be following you

Do…a deer, and female deer.  
Re…a drop of golden sun.  
Mi…a name I call myself.  
Fa…a long, long way to run.  
So…a needle pulling thread.  
La…a note to follow so.  
Ti…a drink with jam and bread.  
That will bring us back to do, do, do, do…

When she comes

I was taken to a place,  
The Hall of the Mountain King.  
I stood high up on a mountaintop,  
Naked to the world  
In front of every type of girl.

A bottle of red, a bottle of white,  
It all depends upon your appetite.  
I’ll meet you any time you want,  
At our Italian restaurant.

Jeremiah was a bullfrog, was a good friend of mine.  
I never understood a single word he said, but I helped him drink his wine.  
You know, he always had some mighty fine wine.

I first produced my pistol  
And I then produced my rapier  
I said Stand and deliver  
For I am a bold deceiver.
