Lyrics
FISH & TACKLE
© 2010 Carney/Potter
Fish and tackle shop
Right down by the sea
Business of my own
Since I was twenty-three
Help to bait the hooks
For sport fishermen
Expert at my craft
Time and time again
CHORUS
I'M A MASTER BAITER
I KNOW HOW IT'S DONE
CRAFTY NIMBLE HANDS
FOUR FINGERS AND A THUMB
PRACTICE DOES MAKE PERFECT
NEVER WAIT TILL LATER
WATCH ME WITH THIS ONE
I'M A MASTER BAITER
Learned from my old man
He was an expert
Mom helped him sometimes
When his fingers hurt
My wife refuses though
She can't stand the feel
Slimy worms and such
Reminds her of an eel
CHORUS #2
I'M A MASTER BAITER
WITH ADVANCED DEGREE
CAN DO IT IN MY SLEEP
BOTH HANDS WORKING FREE
PRACTICE DOES MAKE PERFECT
BETTER NOW THAN LATER
COME WATCH ME SOMETIME
I'M A MASTER BAITER
BRIDGE
Some day I'll retire
Many years from now
Sell to someone new
Then I'll show them how
CHORUS #3
I'M A MASTER BAITER
I KNOW HOW IT'S DONE
CRAFTY NIMBLE HANDS
FOUR FINGERS AND A THUMB
PRACTICE DOES MAKE PERFECT
NEVER WAIT TILL LATER
WATCH ME WITH THIS ONE
I'M A MASTER BAITER
I'M A MASTER BAITER
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
JUST FEELS SO DARN GOOD
WHEN I'M ALMOST DONE
I DO IT EVERY DAY
NEVER WAIT TILL LATER
SMILING ALL THE WAY
I'M A MASTER BAITER
