Little Joe Natt on his grandpa's lap Rocking on the floorboards tappity tap Grandpa's voice got quiet and low Let me tell you about a secret fishing hole The catfish that live in this swampy slough Grow big as a whales I've heard it's true Nobody can find it since the great flood came But they say it's still out there, just the same What does a catfish wish Deep down below What do they like to eat Only a catfish knows You want a catfish dish? Take your line and your pole But what does a catfish wish Only a catfish knows Deep in the swamp Joe slogged and slogged In his knee high boots through the soggy foggy bogs Into a hollow log Joe wiggled and crawled Damp and dank and clammy and all He finally came through he saw along the bank A huge black lump floated as big as a tank A dark eye opened with jolt and jerk And a mouth raised up with a sly old smirk Who you said a voice as deep as the sea You come here a-fishing for me Oh no Mr. catfish Joe said with surprise I was fishing for something of a smaller size That catfish laughed and the whole swamp shook Like an earthquake in Joe's science book I can't deny it I'm a bit of a giant I have a special diet you might want to try it I eat Slimy smudge and muddy buggy crud Stinky black fudge made of grimy sludge Oily mucky globby gooey guck Step in my food boy and you might get stuck Stinky ooze rusty nails and screws But wiggly worms only in ones and twos But if its sloopy slimy sluggy soupy swill I'll eat it all day till I get my fill But there's a few things I'd still like to try I've never had a nice warm fruity pie I've never tasted macaroni and cheeses People food like those black-eyed peas Potato salad, big bowls of cream Some greasy greens sounds delicious to me If you give me some food after I chew and chomp I'll give you a ride on my back like the King of the swamp! What does a catfish wish Deep down below What do they like to eat Only a catfish knows You want a catfish dish Take your line and your pole But what does a catfish wish Only a catfish knows Joe said I've brought a lunch so give it a try the fish gobbled it down in the blink of an eye After he finished every crumb and scrap He said I'll give you a that ride once I've had my nap But he yawned so big Joe was sucked into his mouth It closed with slap before Joe could climb out Wake up! Joe cried it's dark and there's ooze But the fish just grunted and a snored as he snoozed Joe took out a feather he kept in his pocket And tickled that gullet hoping to unlock it The fish tried to hiccup but Joe was there to block it Then coughed so hard Joe shot out like a rocket And the catfish said All that fancy food gave my insides a seesaw I dreamed I had something boney stuck in my craw But jump on my back cause a deals a deal Even though I can't say I enjoyed that meal Joe rode through the swamp like a prince on a horse He wave to his friends and Grampa of course And the catfish said I should have known all along They all joined in and sang this song What does a catfish wish Deep down below What do they like to eat Only a catfish knows You want a catfish dish Take your line and your pole But what does a catfish wish Only a catfish knows
