GONE FISHIN´ (Nick A. Kenny / Charles F. Kenny) Louis Armstrong sang this song with Bing as a guest on Bing´s Chesterfield Show in April 1951. The duet reveals the delightful musical kinship between Bing and Satchmo. Decca preserved this performance on disk, which charted for two weeks that summer. I´ll tell you why I can´t find you Every time I go out to your place... You gone fishin´ (well how you know) Well there´s a sign upon your door (uh-huh) Gone fishin´ (I´m real gone man) You ain´t workin´ anymore (could be) There´s your hoe out in the sun Where you left a row half done You claim that hoein´ ain´t no fun (well I can prove it) You ain´t got no ambition Gone fishin´ by a shady wady pool (Shangrila, really la) I´m wishin´ I could be that kind of fool (should I twist your arm?) I´d say no more work for mine (welcome to the club) On my door I´d hang a sign Gone fishin´ instead of just a-wishin´ Papa Bing (yeah Louis) I stopped by your place a time or two lately And you aren´t home either Well, I´m a busy man Louis. I got a lotta deals cookin´ I was probably tied up at the studio You weren´t tied up you dog You was just plain old... Gone fishin´ (bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah) There´s a sign upon your door (Pops, don´t blab it around, will you?) Gone fishin´ (keep it shady, I got me a big one staked out) Mmm, you ain´t workin´ anymore (I don´t have to work, I got me a piece of Gary) Cows need milkin´ in the barn (I have the twins on that detail, they each take a side) But you just don´t give a darn (give ´em four bits a cow and hand lotion) You just never seem to learn (man, you taught me) You ain´t got no ambition (you´re convincin´ me) Gone fishin´ (bah-boo-dah-do-dah-do-dah-do) Got your hound dog by your side (that´s old Cindy-Lou goin´ with me) Gone fishin´ (mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm) Fleas are bitin´ at his hide (get away from me boy, you bother me) Mmm, folks won´t find us now because Mister Satch and Mister Cros We gone fishin´ instead of just a-wishin´ Bah-boo-baby-bah-boo-bah-bay-mmm-bo-bay Oh yeah!
