Catfish!  Swimming in the water
Catfish!  Swimming round and round
Catfish!  Won't you come and meet me
Here beside the waters that I've found
C'mon pretty catfish, don't you drown
  
Living in this city
Had an awful year
Couldn't make Miss Pretty
Smile ear to ear
Summer was a hot one
It's a ******!  Winter's near
If I had a shotgun
Ol' Haliburton dear
  
Catfish!  Swimming in the water
Catfish!  Swimming very near
Catfish!  Bend to me your ear
I've seen so many bad things catfish dear
I have no fear; the end is very near
  
Catfish!  Catfish!  Swimming in the water
Catfish!  Catfish!  Take the bait, you ought ta
Catfish!  Catfish!  Jump out of the water
And tell me "Is this water really clean?"
When Polar Bears can't find no place to be
  
They decided that more oil was better than more beans
More nuclear reactors put a waste to more machines
Who cares if they're on fault lines
Or its waste goes in the air
When the ice cap's melted
We will fight to drill more oil there
  
Catfish!  Can you talk some sense to me
Catfish!  Catfish!  Please, just take the lead
Catfish!  Ninety cents of every dollar
Given to our madmen enemies?
Three Hundred Sixty Pennies!  Catfish, Please
  
Catfish!  Catfish!  Do you need more cheese?
Catfish!  Catfish!  A simple answer please
Catfish!  Catfish!  I'm not your enemy
I'm just a simple country boy.  You see?
You can open up your eyes now Catfish, please
Open up your eyes now catfish, please
Open up your eyes now catfish, PLEASE
