Chilling in the swimming hole like fishes do The water’s fine and the fish are too Then a splash over yonder but just you wait I’ve been around a while and that looks like bait

So juicy and delicious just floating there Some fish are circling round but I say beware One lesson learned the hard way was all it took And now I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting the hook

Somebody’s trying to get you Somebody wants to net you Be careful or you might end up on someone’s plate Don’t take the bait

I get it, we’re fish and we’re not too bright But that ain’t no reason to take a bite If someone’s tempting you with treats for free That ain’t a sign of their generosity

Somebody’s trying to get you Somebody wants to net you Be careful or you might end up on someone’s plate Don’t take the bait

Compliments or politics or pity or dirt If you try to bite you’re in for a world of hurt Rage or engagement, information galore It’s a trick to get you playing their tug of war

Somebody’s trying to get you Somebody wants to net you Be careful or you might end up on someone’s plate Don’t take the bait
