Not My Catch

[Verse] On an ocean wild Sailing through the deep They all crave the fish I just can't make that leap [Verse 2] I've tried every dish Oysters clams and sole But despite the praise Dreams of fish take their toll [Chorus] Don't give me fish I won't take a bite No salmon no trout Not morning or night Oh I know they all say It's a flavor so grand But I've got my taste And I'll make my stand [Bridge] They say it's sheer delight Empirical and so right But I'll face the stormy sea Free from the fish Free to be me [Verse 3] Recipes I've seen Grilled baked and fried Still my heart won't lean Taste buds can't abide [Chorus] Oh don't give me fish I won't take a bite No tuna or cod Won't put up a fight Though the world's in ascent To the flavor's command I've got my own ways And here I will stand
