Get The Bait In Shape

I was sitting down by the fishing hole
The fishing was bad and I was feeling low
I'd been fishing all day and I never got a bite.

When this old man he came walking by
He said you ain't catching fish and I'll tell you why
You've got to get your Bait in Shape

Get the Bait in Shape Get it looking fine
And you will get a chat most every time
But before you can hook em you've got to get em looking
You've got to get the Bait in Shape

I knew a lady that never left home
Now she's tired of being a lone
She told me what she was going to do.

I'm gonna buy new clothes and change my hair
Loose an inch here and there
I'm gonna get my Bait in Shape

CHORUS

One thing I've learned through years of pain
Is fishing and lovin it's about the same
Both take patience and a gentle touch

So if you're trying to hook the love of your life
Or your just trying to get the fish to bite.
You've got to get the Bait in Shape

CHORUS
