“(YOU’RE) THE CATCH OF THE DAY” By Jason Myers ©7/18/2013 Well, I’ll bring the poles And you bring the bait Let’s head to the reservoir and make it a date I hear the fish are jumpin’ I can hardly wait So, Honey, please don’t delay They got large mouth, small mouth, catfish, and trout Some bigger than a Buick, man, they will knock you out But even if I get no fish there’s still no doubt I’ll be leavin’ with THE CATCH OF THE DAY The first time that I saw you walkin’ down the street It’s a moment I will never forget You flashed that smile at me that is oh, so sweet And I stopped and told my heart, “Hey, man, better get the net!” Well, eatin’ bass for dinner may be too ambitious ‘Cause we could spend all day and still go home with no fishes Makes no difference to me ‘cause you fulfill my wishes Oh, Baby, you’re THE CATCH OF THE DAY Your engaging conversation and “come hither” look And your perfect ears were the lure And then you started whisperin’ French and set the hook I thought, “Mon Dieu! J’ai trouvé le pêche du jour!” I can’t believe my luck that I can call you mine I’ve never had a fishin’ partner look so fine I love the way you pull the slack out of my line Baby, you’re THE CATCH OF THE DAY

Get A Room 03:01
I'm not opposed to public displays of affection In fact, it's kind of nice to see in these troubled times A peck on the cheek, holding hands, Blurting out in a crowded room, "I love you, Man!" Yet, when it resembles a life-saving actI have an objection Call me old-fashioned, a prude, whatever it be I must draw the line. So, You're both in love Looks like a fine romance Who wouldn't want to be there given half the chance? But may I offer a suggestion to the bride and the groom Spare us the indigestion And GET A ROOM Spring is here And love is in the air It has become apparent you have a lot to share I can see quite clearly That young love is in bloom And I'm asking quite sincerely that you GET A ROOM This really isn't the time or the place Those things should remain in the privacy of the home Boy, it's a drag to have it shoved in my face Especially when I'm sittin' here all alone We'll pass the hat I'm sure we'll all chip in Collect enough donations For the Holiday Inn And to sweeten the pot I'll even throw in a broom To help you clean up your act And GET A ROOM

A pledge and a promise An oath and a vow Read, understood, and signed The words that were spoken Have no meaning now The breach can be clearly defined An error in judgement Was your alibi You thought it was true love But you were naive You whispered, "Forever." Then you said goodbye And you washed the shirt with MY HEART ON THE SLEEVE A master's illusion From your sleight of hand You said I had nothing to fear Under your power Your wish my command Then you made your love disappear I fell for your magic I cannot deny A wave of your wand And you made me believe You whispered, "Forever." Then you said goodbye And you washed the shirt with MY HEART ON THE SLEEVE I've pulled up my bootstraps A stiff upper lip They say that this, too, shall end I've held it together But losin' my grip Heartache is my only friend The tears that are formin' I cannot defy Our time spent together I sit here and grieve You walked out forever When you said goodbye And you washed the shirt with MY HEART ON THE SLEEVE

Early last evening I was walkin’ by the river Headed down towards the dock wadin’ in the water with souls to deliver Was a preacher man and his flock But then I caught a glimpse of someone over on the side Lyin’ down on the river bank She had a smile and a body that she didn’t try to hide Made me want to lay down and give thanks. As I stood there thinking this could be my lucky day I heard some angels singin’ as she started comin’ towards my way I’ve never been a religious man ‘Cause there’re too many things that I don’t understand But as she was approaching me walking in the sand I thought, “Glory Hallelujah! It’s THE PROMISED LAND!” She had a heavenly body sent down from above That was swayin’ to and fro And eyes that revealed she was thinking of Thoughts sent up from below I said It’s nice to meet you but she simply told me “Hush” Then she whispered things to me That woulda made the Devil blush I’ve never been a religious man ‘Cause there’re too many things that I don’t understand She kissed me on the cheek and took me by the hand Then she led me down to THE PROMISED LAND She took me back beneath the trees And anointed my desire ‘Til the temperature kept risin’ To a baptism by fire I’ve never been a religious man ‘Cause there’re too many things that I don’t understand But then I met an angel who took me by the hand Then she led me down to THE PROMISED LAND

Spend the whole day fishin’ Where dreams reach fruition That’s what I imagine my heaven to be But I’m in no hurry And no need to worry ‘Cause I AM IN HEAVEN when you are with me If Peter should turn me away at the gate And says there’s more work left to do I’ll gladly return where I’ll sit here and wait And spend the time thinking of you If my thoughts of ascension are merely pretension And there’s no chance in Hell to reach Heaven for me It won’t be the ending If I’m not ascending ‘Cause I AM IN HEAVEN when you are with me If they say I am not quite what they’re looking for And my application’s denied I’ll smile and say thank you as they close the door And tell them, "This dude will abide." ‘Cause If I’m forsaken Or they were mistaken ‘and I’m left in limbo for eternity Won’t be disappointed If I’m not anointed ‘Cause I AM IN HEAVEN when you are with me ©2013
