lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight shinin' through the trees
the crickets are singin' and the lightnin' bugs are floatin' onthe breeze
baby, get ready

across the field where the creek turns back by the old stumprow
I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
baby, get ready

oooooohh
you an' me goin' fishin in the dark
lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
where the cool grass grows
down by the river in the full moonlight
we'll be falling in love in the middle of the night
movin' slow
spend the whole night through
feels so good to be with you

spring's nearly over and summer's comin' - days are gettin'long
I waited all winter for the time to be right just to take youalong
baby, get ready

it don't matter if you sit forever and the fish don't bite
jump in the river and we'll cool ourselves from the heat of thenight
baby, get ready

oooooohh
you an' me goin' fishin in the dark
lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
where the cool grass grows
down by the river in the full moonlight
we'll be falling in love in the middle of the night
movin' slow
spend the whole night through
it feels so good to be with...

you an' me goin' fishin in the dark
lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
where the cool grass grows
(hmm, hmm) down by the river in the full moonlight
we'll be falling in love in the middle of the night
movin' slow

you an' me goin' fishin in the dark
lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
where the cool grass grows
(you and me)
down by the river in the full moonlight
we'll be falling in love in the middle of the night
