Lyrics
Take the jib sail down boys, take the jib sail down
Turn this ship around boys, before we run aground
The fish aren't bitin' today boys, the fish aren't bitin' today
Gonna lay on my bunk and get drunk as a skunk
'Cause the fish aren't bitin' today
There's six foot waves and my stomach craves
Some good old Antiguan Rum
I took some away for a rainy day
And the rain she is startin' to come now
Take the jib sail down boys, take the jib sail down
Turn this ship around boys, before we run aground
The fish aren't bitin' today boys, the fish aren't bitin' today
Gonna lay on my bunk and get drunk as a skunk
'Cause the fish aren't bitin' today
There's a northern wind and the lights are dim
Like a good fresh Cuban cigar
I got me a hunch where there might be a bunch
In the Captain's pickle jar
So, take the jib sail down boys, take the jib sail down
Turn this ship around boys, before we run aground
The fish aren't bitin' today boys, the fish aren't bitin' today
Gonna lay on my bunk and get drunk as a skunk
'Cause the fish aren't bitin' today
Play me mon
The fish aren't bitin' today boys, the fish aren't bitin' today
Gonna lay on my bunk and get drunk as a skunk
'Cause the fish aren't bitin' today, yeah
