I was a work-shy boy, all in love with the people. I offered myself to the world. I was a work-shy boy. I was a work-shy boy.

I went with Cecil fishin', Cecil fishin', fished with Cecil. What a weasel.

The story:

At age 49, I finally read the lyrics somewhere. I've loved this song for about 30 years, and have sung along to it many times. I think it's a much better song if it's about someone who doesn't want to work too hard, and goes fishing. I think the real lyrics suck.
