Jimmy’s dad and mom wanted to go fishing
So they all got in the car with Skip, their dog
And headed for the San Joaquin River
Jimmy was seven years old
They got into a boat
About three hours later
Mom was in the stern with her line in the water
She was sound asleep
Dad was in the bow with his line in the water
He was asleep…too
In the middle of the boat was Jimmy and Skip
Jimmy saw three kids playing on the river bank
And he wanted to play with them
Skip was getting jumpy and started to jump around
All of a sudden Skip jumped out of the boat and went for a swim
Jimmy got him back in the boat and Skip shook
And sprayed Mom and Dad with cold water
And woke them up
Dad looked at me and Skip and said
I guess it’s about time we go back
And Skip and I got to play with the kids on the bank!
