Well I went to the river 
D
and I caught me a fish
D
brought him back home 
    A             D
and put him in a dish

D
I was in 
D
for big surprise
D                
never saw a fish 
          A          D
with such big blue eyes

[chorus]

Stoke up the stove,

G Get out the salt D Get out the pepper A This fish is good D but I'm gonna make it better D deedle deedle deedle dee dee dee D A D deedle deedle deedle dee dee dee I heard a voice say 'scuze me please salt makes me itchy pepper makes me sneeze I wasn't happy and it's just my luck it seems I'd better quick and put him in a bucket Well the fish said sir there's time to be humble I know you're in a hurry I can hear your tummy rumble I'm a magic fish and it's a big mistake to treat a magic fish like a piece of steak [chorus] Stoke up the stove, get down the skillet I've got an empty tummy but I'm gonna fill it. Get out the salt Get out the pepper fish tastes good but I'm gonna make it better Deedle deedle deedle dee dee dee Deedle deedle deedle dee dee dee My head I'm shaken and the floor I"m walking can't seem to cook a fish that's talking Said I'll tell a story if you let me live I'll tell you a story but to get ya gotta give So he told me stories about Paul Revere and ol' Paul Bunyon and the grizzly bear He told me the one about the man from Nantucket the fish did a flip and wiggled in the bucket [chorus] Stoke up the stove, get down the skillet I've got an empty tummy but I'm gonna fill it. Get out the salt Get out the pepper This fish is good but I'm gonna make it better Deedle deedle deedle dee dee dee Deedle deedle deedle dee dee dee We told stories til the sun came upper I gave the fish breadcrumbs and I had peanut butter I said Mr Fish what are we gonna do? you're supposed to feed me now I'm feeding you. So I took'm to the river and I put'm him back in now every evenin' I come and visit him We both tell stories til it's late at night and I'll go home and turn off the light [chorus] Dapper down the stove and hang up the skillet got an empty stomach gonna haveta live with it Put away the salt Put away the pepper a fish dinner's good but a fish friend's better deedle deedle deedle dee dee dee deedle deedle deedle dee dee dee [Thanks to jay munro for tabs]
